God said to share the wisdom but the king spider didn’t want to. But he ended up sharing anyway when he dropped the bag of wisdom from the top of the tree into a bush. I would recommend this to my friends

I found this book interesting because he threw the bag into the bush even though he wanted to keep it. I also like it because all the animals really wanted to have it and anansi didn't let them. In the end all the wisdom came to everybody.

Anansi the spider is not going to share his bag of wisdom but he himself is not keeping it very safe.
