Have you heard the tale about how Anansi tried to keep all the wisdom for himself?
People say Anansi once found a big pot of wisdom. He wanted it all. He held it tight. He tried to hide it. But the pot was heavy, and his legs were small. He climbed a tree to keep the pot safe. The pot bumped his belly. The pot slid. The pot wobbled. Anansi slipped and the wisdom fell down. The wisdom spilled everywhere like tiny seeds. Kids found some. Grown-ups found some. Birds found some too. Anansi just sat there and sighed. Even a clever spider learns that sharing works better than holding everything in one pot.
