• Kwaku Anansi and His Children Aug 14, 2025

  

  Kwaku Anansi was known throughout the forest for his cleverness, but what made him most proud was not his own abilities—it was his six remarkable children. Each had been born with a special gift, and Anansi loved to watch them practice their unique skills.

  His eldest son was called See Trouble, because he could spot danger from farther away than any other creature. His second son was Road Builder, who could create paths through the most impossible terrain. The third was River Drinker, who could swallow entire streams when necessary. The fourth was Game Skinner, who could remove the hide from any animal in the blink of an eye. The fifth was Stone Thrower, who never missed his target no matter how small or distant. And the youngest was Cushion, who was so soft and bouncy that nothing could be harmed when it landed on him.
