Anansi stories

During Literacy last week, we read the Anansi tale called ' Anansi and the Talking Watermelon'. We used the ideas taken from the book and decided to write our own versions.
Here are two....

Anansi and the Singing Banana

Have you ever wondered what life was like being a bored, lonely, lazy and mischievous spider called Anansi?. If you are sitting comfortably I will begin…
Anansi loved playing tricks on Elephant so he thought that it would be funny to make one of the banana’s sing. So when Elephant went to find a hoe he sneaked behind the banana and when Elephant came back from finding the hoe Anansi began singing .
Elephant gasped . He ran straight to Hippopotamus, his best mate. After a while, Hippopotamus and Elephant came sprinting back to Elephant’s garden. But meanwhile Anansi had secretly crawled away because his throat was hurting badly and Elephant looked extremely foolish.

Anansi and the Jumping carrot

Have you ever wondered what life was like as a lazy spider called Anansi.? Well if you are sitting comfortably, I shall begin.
Long, long ago there lived a tigerwho was very proud of his vegetable patch. High above the massive vegetable patch, there was a plum tree and on that plum tree, there lived a spider called Anansi.
Anansi loved to play a trick on tiger. It would be fun to make a carrot jump he said to himself.
At that point, tiger had gone into a massive shed to look for a shiny, brown spade. In a blink of an eye, Anansi got under the ripest, juiciest carrot and started jumping.
Moments later, tiger came back, then something caught his eye, A JUMPING CARROT!
