Anansi became a great story by buying all the stories from Nyame, the sky-father. He did this because he felt the world was boring without great stories to tell. At first, Nyame did not want to give Anansi his tales, but then Anansi wove a great silk web to go all the way up to the sky-God. Nyame was impressed and accepted him as a buyer, but set a really high price. He told Anansi that he would have to capture three of the most dangerous animals in the world; Onini the Python, Osebo the Leopard, and the Mmoboro Hornets. Using his incredible wit he was able to outsmart these animals and capture them.
