Lawson 1. For "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself", I think that the moral is to share, because you should treat others the way you want to be treated. The moral of "Two Sisters And An Old Man" is that you should follow directions because they always have a purpose. 2. If Ananse hadn't hogged the bananas, they wuold still be friends and Baboon would have still had all of his trust in Ananse. 3. If Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do, she would have ended up like her sister, ugly and cold hearted. 4. I think that these lessons could apply to every day life. If you didn't share, you wouldn't have any friends and nobody would trust you. I also think that following directions is a big part of everyday life. Not following directions in class leads to bad grades. These lessons are very important because they are also the right thing to do. Not following these lessons always leads to bad things.

1. In Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself, the moral is that you should always share your wealth with others. In Two Sisters and an Old Man, the moral is that you should always follow the rules of someone who is trying to protect you. 2. In Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself, if Ananse had not taken all the ripened bananas and left Baboon with the stump, then they could have shared the ripened bananas and shared the bananas grown from the stump and their friendship would have survived. 3. In Two Sisters and an Old Man, if Ranti had taken the golden fruit, she would not have gottten many riches but instead she would have been stung by the little bugs that come out of the golden fruit. 4.The moral that you should always share your wealth with others applies to my life when I can help others with school work and when I can give to food drives or other school-sponsered service projects. The lesson in Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself can help me do the right thing because the story shows that if you are greedy and take everything for yourself, that sometimes you won't end up getting what you want and you can ruin your friendships. The moral that you should always follow the rules of someone who is trying to protect you applies to my life when I can follow the rules made by my parents and the rules at my school. The lesson in Two Sisters and an Old Man can help me to do the right thing because the story shows that if you break the rules of those protecting you, you can get hurt.

Colesy 1. the moral of Ananse is that nothing comes of being greedy, and that you may lose a lot. My Morl for two sisters is that Bisi breaks open the fruit and fals sick. Ranti nurses her back to health and they become friends. 2. The flk tale would not of taught a lesson of what happens when ou are greddy. It also would not of taught why Baboons hate spiders. 3. It would not teach the lesson to as told and you will be rewared. Insted Ranti would not be as kind and true as the story said. 4.Follow their basic morals, such as do unto others as you exspect to be treated. Nothing will come of being mean. Yes. You want to be nice to people and etc. If you do what the story tells not to do it would be bad, and you could get in trouble or be hurt.

Ashley 1. The moral of Kweku Ananse is share and be kind to others and they will be kind back. The moral of Two Sisters is just because it looks good on the outside,doesn't mean it is good on the inside. 2. If Ananse would have shared Baboon and Ananse could be friends still today and the baboon wouldn't scratch so much. 3. If Ranti had listened to the elder she wouldn't have had creepy crawlers in her room, she would have had riches. 4. The moral of Ananse and Two Sisters would help me do the right thing. Ananse teaches me that sharing can make someone day. The Two Sisters taught me to listen and follow directions.

William 1.The moral of my story "Kweku Anance outsmarts himself" is to share. Treat your neighbor as your self. The moral of my version of "two sisters and an old man" is to not get greedy like Ranti did. 2. I think that if Ananse had not done what he did with the bananas Anance and Baboon would still be friends and they would share the banana tree. 3. I think that if Ranti had done what she was supposed to do they would have riches beyond their dreams. Ranti probebly be nice to bissi for finding the fruit and they may let the old man come and live with them. 4. I think that, for "Kweky Anance ousmarts himself", the moral "treat your neighor as yourself" could help you make friends. if your are as nice to your friend as you are to yourself then people in general will like you more. In "Two Sisters and an Old Man" the moral, don't get greedy, could also help you make friends. If you and your friend find something it could create problems if one claims it for himself/herself it could create a problem but if you learn to share people will like you more to.

Sumter 1.The moral of the first folktale, Kwewu Ananse Outsmarts Himself, was that patient people get rewarded and greedy people don't. The moral of Two Sisters and a Man was that humble people recieve more. 2. I think that if Kwewu Ananse had not done what he did with the bananas Baboon would have told Kwewu Ananse that the green bananas were sweeter and I think that they would of split the green bananas evenly. 3. If Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do she would have never found the old man who led her to the rotten fruit, she would have never found the treasure. 4. I can apply the lessons to my life by being more humble and patient and mabye something good eill happen to me. The lessons from the story would help me do the right thing because if I think of getting rewarded by being humble and patient, I will definitely use these lessons in my everyday life

Ariane 1. The lesson of the ending to "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself" that I wrote is that you shouldn't be mean, because it will back-fire on you. The lesson to the ending to "Two Sistes and an Old Man" that I wrote is that you should follow the instructions of your authorities because they want to help you. 2. The folktale would have changed in "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself" if Ananswe had not done what he did with the bananas, because the moral would not be shown: that you shouldn't be greedy. But Ananse was greedy and that teaches the lesson. Also, if he hadn't, the plot of the story would be really different, because Ananse and Baboon end up being enemies, but if Ananse was nice, then they would be friends. 3. The folktale would have changed in "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself" if Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do, because then the moral (again) would not be shown: that you have to obey your authorities because they know better than you. Also, if she hadn't, the bad consequences of Bisi's actions wouldn't be relevant to the story and it wouldn't seem as bad. 4. I can apply the lessons of the tales to my life by remembering them when I am tempted to do the wrong thing and to remember the consequences to the characters' bad actions. The lessons would certainly help, because sometimes, say, if you were at the store with your friend and you both wanted the same thing, if you let him/her have it, he/she will be a good friend to you in return. This shows that these morals will help you in everyday life.

Kenneth 1. The moral of my story in Ananse was if you try to trick someone, it may have serious consequences. The moral of my story in Two sisters was sometimes making the right decision will pay off in the end. 2. I believe if Ananse had not done what he did with the bananas the story would have been different because Ananse lost his best friend, but if he would share, he would still have his best friend. 3. I believe if Ranti had not done what she did the story would have been different because if Ranti would have chosen the rotten fruit, she would have had endless riches. 4. I could apply the morals of the folktales to my life by making right decisions and not trying to trick people. I believe the morals would help me do the right thing because if I think about the morals, they will help me remember to do the right thing.

1.The moral of Ananse was to always be aware of things around you. The moral of Two Sisters was to never judge a book by its cover. 2.If Ananse had not eaten the bananas and shared some with his friends, he would have been more aware and would have not eaten the bugs.Then the moral would be always be a good friend. 3.If Ranti did not pick the rotten fruits, she would not have great riches. All of her things would rot. Then Bisi would see her things and laugh and still make her work. The moral would stay the same though, because Ranti picked the ripe fruits and did not get great riches. 4. In my life I can apply these lessons everyday. When I am aware, I am careful to not run into things and I pay more attention in class. When I don't judge someone by how they look, I can get to the know the person better by the personality. The moral of Ananse will help me do the right thing, because I will pay attention to the teacher when she announces homework or tells us to right notes. Also,when someone is in pain, I am aware so I can go help them. The moral in Two Sisters will help me to do the right thing, because I will not judge people on how they look. The best quality of a person is there heart.

Hannah 1.  I think that the moral of Kweku Anase outsmarts himsef is that just because you get more at the moment doesn’t mean your better off for the future. The moral for the two sisters and an old man is that don’t judge something by how it looks and to follow directions. 2.  He would have not leared that just because you get more at the moment doesn’t mean your better off for the future. If Anase had not done what he did then the baboon and the spider would still be friends and they could have shared the bananas together. Then they could have lived together for the rest of their lives. 3.  The way the two sisters and the old man would have changed if Ranti had taken the golden apple and died. Then her sister would keep on being cruel and would never learn her lesson. Therefore would get everything she wanted and wouldn’t be any kinder. 4.  The way we can apply these lessons to life is by always following directions also the other morals and they would help us do the right things because we don’t want to get hurt.

Grant 1.) The moral of "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself" was always think before acting. The moral of "Two Sisters and an Old Man" was: if you are good, stay that way, but if you are mean and cruel, change your ways because being mean always brings despair. 2.)In "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself", if Ananse wasn't greedy and didn't take all the bananas, he and Adun would still be best friends. 3.)In "Two Sisters and an Old Man", if Ranti hadn't followed the old man's instructions, she wouldn't have real riches and Bisi wouldn't have gone to the old man. 4.)To apply the moral from "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself", you could try to watch what you say. To apply the moral for "Two Sisters and an Old Man", you can attept not to be mean to others. The morals from these two stories could help you do the right thing because you shouldn't hurt others with your words because you will feel guilt an will be in serious trouble.

Max 1. The moral of kweku ananse outsmarts himself is you can't always get what you want, the moral of two sisters and an old man is don't judge a book by its cover 2.I think that if Ananse didn't do that Baboon and Ananse would have still be friends and would both be happy they would be sharing the bananas instead of fighting over them. 3.I think that if Ranti didn't do the right thing Ranti would have become poor becase she ate the golden apple and Bisi would become rich because she would have eaten the rotten one. 4. I can learn that i can't just look at something and say it is not going to be good or I can learn that you can;t just believe someone is lieing,and you can't always get everything thaat you want.yes it would because I always want everything and this is teaching bad will come from being greedy, and wheni read I always look at the cover and decide if it will be a good book or not this moral is saying I should read it for a little while before i decide if the book will be good or not.

Leila 1.The moral of my first story is always share because good things come out of it like having a lot of friends. The moral of the my second story is always listen to your elders. 2. If Ananse didn't hog all of the bananas then Baboon and him would have been happily sharing and none of the arguements would have happened. 3. If Ranti did what she wasn't supposed to do then when she took the golden fruit she would have found out what was in them right as she got home and would realize all the bad stuff and be humiliated in front of Bisi. She would have also learned to listen to her elders next time. 4.The morals to both of my stories do apply to real life because if you listen to your parents then good things come out of that like doing the right thing and getting rewarded. Parents protect you and sometimes when you don't like what they tell you to do and do the opposite, it's dangerous. Also, when you share people will like you and want to be your friend. So the lessons from the story do help you do the right thing, too

Ethan 1. The moral of the story about baboon and spider was never be greedy and inconsiderate.The moral of the story about the old man and the fruit is never judge a book by its cover. 2. The story would be different because baboon and ananse would have shared the bananas and lived happily ever after. 3. She wouldn't have gotten the riches and bisi wouldn't have gone to the garden. 4. They apply to my life because I try not to stereotype so the bisi story applyies really well to give a motto.This would help me to make good choices.

Haley 1. The moral of the first story (Kweku Ananse...) is that you should always be fair and take what is yours. The moral of my second story (Two Sisters...)is that you should be wise and do what you are told, or else you will get punished. Also, what goes around comes around, and if you are mean to someone else, you can't get away with it. 2. The folktale would've changed in Kweku... because Kweku Ananse and Baboon would've stayed friends and there would be no conflict in the story. 3. The folktale would've changed in Two Sisters... because Ranti would not have gotten all of her riches and she would've stayed Bisi's slave forever. Also, Bisi would not have found the fruit and she would not have gotten her payback for being so mean to Ranti. 4. You could apply the folktales to your life by always being kind and sharing what you have. You shouldn't be sneaky and try to outsmart people because it almost never works. You should also do what you are told and don't be foolish. I think that these will help me to do the right thing because they are good lessons that really show you what can happen if you don't follow these simple morals. If you know the concequences for doing the wrong thing, than it is a lot easier to follow whats right.

T 1. My moral for Kweku Ananse outsmarts himself was that you need to make a compromise or agreement or something bad or unexpected may happen. My moral for Two Sisters and a Man was that you need to trust people rather than trying it your own way. 2. The folktale would have changed if Ananse didn't take the bananas because they would have shared with an equal amount of bananas and stayed friends instead of losing their friendship. 3. If Ranti had taken the golden fruit she might have ended up like Bisi. She might become spoiled and not enjoy life the way it is. She might want things that she won't get and always be in a bad mood. 4. I can apply both of the morals to my life because I do need to both trust people and make compromises a little bit more than I do right now. They would help me do the right thing because in some predicaments they might either get me through them or help me move on.
