Anansi and the food

Once there was a very greedy spider called Anansi. Anansi was half spider half man, he had 6 arms and 2 legs. He always wanted to play tricks on other people.

One day Anansi was walking around, he was thinking about food and tricks ( in other words he was planning a trick.) He walked past a garden and saw a plain apron on a washing line. He crept up and then quickly snatched that apron with some white trousers and socks. Finally he got some shoes.

He looked at the clothes, while he climbed back over the wall. He said to himself, “I don’t know why, but why don’t I become a school cook?”

He walked to the nearest school and a filled out a fake application form. He read out loud “Haworth Primary School!”

He wanted to take a job at the school, all to do just one trick.

Anansi walked in and went into the office. He had to wait a couple of minutes until he could go in and get the job. It was his go now, he walked in. He got the job, he was to go home and come back in a week.

After the long week Anansi was ready. As he walked up to the school he was thinking about the money and the food, what a great trick he had planned! He walked into the school and went into the dinner hall and began to steal all of the food. He put it into his pockets to take home. Even though the children were left hungry they never noticed him.

As he was walking home, suddenly his pockets ripped open, RIPPPPP! He had stloen too much food and it all began to tumble from his pockets. Anansi was quickly surrounded by hungry cats, dogs and birds. They ate all the food that Anansi had dropped.

The lesson is to never to be greedy.
