  Anansi and the Burden Bearer

  Gathered from the oral traditions of the Akan people of Ghana

  ---

  Gather close, children of the caring heart, and I shall tell you of Anansi and the Burden Bearer, a tale that teaches us to recognize the hidden heroes who walk among us, carrying loads that others cannot bear. This story comes from a time when communities were held together not by laws or rulers, but by the quiet strength of those who chose to serve others without seeking recognition or reward.
