Two boys have the exact same adventure. One gets rich and the other ends up begging a cat for his life. A folktale from Ghana, written and narrated by A. Sakyiama *** This is an audio-ebook. In addition to text, it includes the author-narrated audio of the story. It's a fun format that allows you to enjoy books by reading, listening, or reading and listening at the same time. This is a wonderful, low-stress way to help struggling readers find pleasure in reading. Listening makes the difference. Kids see the words highlighted on the page and at the same time, are able to hear how the words should be read. This way, they build reading skills and a richer vocabulary. Also, it's just plain fun sometimes to relax and have someone else read to you. 🙂

What happens when Ananse sets out to prove that he is the most clever person in the world?

Kweku Ananse is not exactly known for favoring hard work. In fact, he's better known for creatively avoiding hard work. So, why would the famously lazy trickster organize a work day?

Lizard asks Ananse for food and gets. . .what? A haircut! Now, how is that helpful?

All stories belonged to God, until Ananse paid a very high price for them. How did he do it?

What can you get for a grain of corn if you are as crafty as Ananse?

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
