.jpeg?auto=format)
Ananse climbed a mango tree by the river.
He wanted to eat all the mangoes by himself.
Greedy Ananse didn't want to take any mangoes home for his wife or children.
As Ananse was eating the mangoes up in the tree,
he looked down into the river.
There was someone with mangoes in the water.
Ananse wanted those mangoes too!
Ananse wanted ALL the mangoes.
He dropped down into the water.
Splash!
But it was only Ananse's reflection.
Nobody else. No more mangoes.
The river currents carried Ananse away, and he drowned.
That was what happened to greedy Ananse.
