Ananse story, once upon a time in the jungle, monkey made his farm but didn't create a path into the farm but rather walk over the trees and jump into the farm, when he sow his maize and the maize was about to form the 🌽, Kweku Ananse(spider) hurriedly created a path into the farm of monkey claiming ownership of this farm, the issue was taken to the palace to be resolved, monkey told his side of the story and Ananse too explained his side
The elders came to a conclusion that, Ananse is the rightful owner of the farm because no one will farm without creating a path into the farm, monkey had no choice but to accept the judgement.
Ananse continued with the farming till harvesting, the buyer came and bought it in the farm, when kwaku Ananse was returning home with the money it started raining heavily so he cut some plantain leaves and covered the money to protect it from the rain and hide himself in a hole that's inside a big tree.
A vulture came to land on the money because he couldn’t fly . He had to wait for the rain to stop. Immediately the rain stopped Ananse came out and asked vulture to get off his money. The vulture realized it was money so he started claiming ownership of this money too.
Again the matter was taken to the palace and when both said their story, the elders declared vulture as the rightful owner of the money because no body would work hard and later leave his hard earned money in the rain to hide somewhere else.
Vulture won the case and Ananse's labor was in vain, You reap what you sow!!

Ananse cannot find a job so he opens a clinic and puts a sign outside which read "GET TREATMENT FOR GHC20 AND GET BACK GHC100 IF YOU DONT GET CURED"
A lawyer sees this and thinks this is a great opportunity to earn GHC100. So he enters the clinic to engage Dr. Ananse.
Lawyer: "I have lost my sense of taste"
Ananse: "Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and put 3 drops in patient's mouth"
Lawyer (after tasting): "Ugh...this is kerosene"
Ananse: "Congrats, your sense of taste is restored. Give me GHC20"
The annoyed lawyer pays up, then goes back after a few days to recover his money.
Lawyer: "I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything"
Ananse: "Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and put 3 drops in his mouth"
Lawyer (annoyed): "This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste"
Ananse: "Congrats. You got your memory back. Give me GHC20"
The fuming lawyer pays him, and then comes back a week later determined to get
back GHC100.
Lawyer: "My eyesight has become very weak"
Ananse: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this GHC100"
Lawyer (staring at the note): "But this is GHC20, not GHC100"
Ananse: "Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me GHC20"
What can the lawyer do to beat Ananse at his own game?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
