Story
Anansi has become very full of himself and the sky god is not happy with him. To punish him, the sky god sends rain to fall on Chameleon’s crops but not on Anansi’s. Anansi tricks both the chief of the village and Chameleon to get Chameleon’s field for himself but the sky god isn’t going to let Anansi get away with it.
