All the villagers were out in the square talking about a bright new star that had just appeared in the sky. Everyone was very excited about the star because it brought great news. But Baboushka didn't even notice the dazzling star - she was far too busy cleaning her house.

AnanziA long time ago, Nyame the god of the sky gave Ananzi a huge pot which held all the wisdom of the world. Nyame told Ananzi to share the wisdom with everyone he met.
The pot was filled with wonderful pictures, stories, music and many more exciting ideas. Whenever Ananzi looked in the pot he learned something new.
Ananzi didn’t want to share the wisdom. "I will keep it for myself!" he thought.
So Ananzi 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 Ananzi’s way.
Ananzi’s son watched him climb the tree. "Tie the pot to your back" he shouted, "It will make it easier to climb."
So Ananzi tied the pot to his back and very soon he was at the top of the tree.
But when Ananzi got to the top he was very angry. "My son knows more than I do and I have the pot of wisdom," he cried.
Ananzi 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.
