Bushnell and Nuno Alexandre Vieira  \nEssex County Council  \n30130301191390  \nIn a time long ago,there lived Anansi.  \nHe was no ordinary spider.  \nHe was a spider who liked to help others.  \nOne day,Anansi was busy building a webin a tree near a farm,when he sawa sad sheep.  \n\"What's the matter?\"asked Anansi.  \n\"I'm so hungry,\"replied the sheep.  \nAnansi looked surprised.  \n\"But can't you eat the grass?\"he said.  \nThe sheep shook his head.\"No,\"  \nhe replied.\"There hasn't been any rainfor a long time.The grass is dried up andthe pond has no water.I wish I could leaveand find a nice,green field to live in.\"  \nAnansi knew he could help the sheep finda new field to live in.So he shot outhis web threads to make a ramp,and helped the sheep cross overthe fence.NY  \nJust then,the farmer came out ofthe barn.He looked very angry.\"Stop,thief!\"he shouted at Anansi.Anansi and the sheep ran awayas quickly as they could.  \nAnansi and the sheep ran and ran.  \nThey ran so fast that they did not lookwhere they were going.  \nThey ran straight into a lion.  \nThe lion roared and showed his teeth.Anansi looked around.He saw lots ofheavy,ripe mangos hanging in the treeabove the lion.This gave Anansi an idea.  \n“Do not eat us!\"cried Anansi.“The skyis falling!You must run away!\"  \nThe lion looked up.  \nAnansi quickly picked up a rock andthrew it at a mango.The mango fellto the ground with a crash.  \nThe lion thought the sky really was falling.He screamed with fright and ran away.  \nAnansi and the sheep ran and ran.  \nThey both wanted to get far away fromthe lion.  \nBut then,they ran straight into a cheetah.  \nThe cheetah growled and licked his lips.","cbCaia5zcjdJHuBz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia5zcjdJHuBz","pdf",2895611,28,"English","#
