Anansi and the Pot of Wisdom
A West African folktale about Anansi the spider learning a life lesson.
Nyame, the sky god, gives Anansi all the wisdom in the world, which he stores in a pot. Anansi then tries to hide it, but ends up spilling it, and the wisdom spreads to everyone.
Life Lesson: Wisdom is for everyone—not just one person. Greed and selfishness can lead to the loss of what you value most.
