Anansi the Spider

By Anastasia Krylov, 2000

Anansi

The spider

Clever, greedy, rude, and selfish

Lover of meat, rice, a free meal, and egg hunting

Who belives he can get away with anything

Who wants rice, meat, and wisdom

Who uses a jacket, a hat, and a gourd

Who gives everyone a hard time

Who says "I must have all the wisdom in the world"

Anansi the Greedy
