Why Wisdom is Everywhere

A long time ago, Nyame the god of the sky gave Anancy a huge pot which held all the wisdom of the world. Nyame told Anancy to share the wisdom with everyone he met. The pot was filled with wonderful pictures, stories, music and many more exciting ideas. Whenever Anancy looked in the pot he learned something new. Anancy was really greedy and didn’t want to share the wisdom. "I will keep it for myself!" he thought.

So Anancy decided to hide the pot of wisdom on the top of a tall tree, where no one else could find it. He tied a rope around the pot and then tied it around his waist. But the pot was too heavy and kept getting in Anancy’s way. Anancy’s son watched him climb the tree. "Tie the pot to your back" he shouted, "It will make it easier to climb." So Anancy tied the pot to his back and very soon he was at the top of the tree. But when Anancy got to the top he was very angry. "My son knows more than I do and I have the pot of wisdom," he cried. Anancy was so angry that he threw the pot away. Crash! The pot broke into hundreds of pieces.

Whoosh! The wisdom flew everywhere! People found bits of wisdom and started taking it home to their friends. Now that is the story of why no one person has all the world’s wisdom. People everywhere share their ideas with their friends.

The Fox and The Crocodile

Long, long ago there lived a clever fox and his faithful friend, the crocodile. Food was often hard to find, so one day they decided to grow their own.

First, they grew some rice. The crocodile asked, "How shall we share the rice?", "You have all the parts that are growing under the ground and I’ll take the top parts," said the fox. When they pulled up the plants, the crocodile saw that only roots grew under the ground. The tasty rice seeds grew above the ground. The cunning fox laughed and ate the rice.

Next, they decided to grow potatoes. When it was time to harvest the crop the crocodile said, "This time I’ll take the top part." They dug up the plants and the crocodile was amazed to see all the potatoes which lay beneath the ground. The fox laughed out loud and ate the potatoes but the crocodile was very cross.

Next, they grew coconuts. The fox said, "Decide which part you would like - the outside or the inside." The crocodile snapped, "It will have nasty pips on the inside - I’ll eat the outside instead."When they cut through the coconut’s hairy shell, the crocodile saw that on the inside there was refreshing, milky water and flesh. He was very angry. The fox laughed and ate the coconut. Next, the fox decided they should grow sugar cane. He was just about to promise the crocodile both the roots and the leaves when the crocodile had a good idea...

“Let’s share our food fairly,” suggested the crocodile. From that day on, the fox and the crocodile always had plenty of food to eat and lived happily ever after.

The White Elephant

Once upon a time in the beautiful Himalayas, a white elephant was living with his blind mother. The white elephant was good and kind and helped his mother. When food got scarce, he took his mother to live in a cave beside a lake. One day, a terrified forester got lost and the white elephant helped him to find his way home. The forester heard that the King was looking for a new elephant, so, the forester told the King about the white elephant's kindness. The king sent his soldiers to fetch the white elephant, who had to follow them, leaving his mother on her own. The king treated the white elephant very well, but the white elephant was sad about leaving his mother. The king let the kind-hearted white elephant return to his mother. The white elephant never left his mother's side again.

When the white elephant died, the king built a statue and created an annual festival to celebrate the white elephant's great heart.

The End.
