Ollie 1. The morals of my stories are to look things over before you make a deal and what goes around comes around. 2. It would be different because Anansi and Baboon woul each have about 5 banana's and hen they could each grow bananas. 3. If she had not done what she was supposed to do Ranti would of just gotten water and come back home and continued to be bullied. 4. I think they would help me because t everyone does the right thing and this would teach me lessons like to be smart and not to fight back when your being bullied.

Alex B 1. The moral of Anase was don't trick someone into geting the bad side of a bargain because it might make you loose your friendship. 2. Anase and Baboon would be friends and they would share the bananas. 3. She would of had bad luck and have had more chores. 4. They can help you in school so you dont get in trouble.They can help you so dont get in trouble when making a bargain. They would because being fair and fallowing the rules is the right choice.

Jordan 1.My moral for Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself was always be fair. My moral for Two Sisters and an Old Man was never judge anything by its covering. 2.If Kweku Ananse didn't take the bananas thre wouldn't have been any arguments and the friends would not have been enemies for that short time. 3.If Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do the compound where they lived would be filthy, have no water, and have no food. 4.We could try new foods even if it looks bad and share things with others even if we want it for ourselves. The lessons would help us be better people.

Annabel 1. The moral of Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself is to share with your friends because they might end up not sharing with you when you need them to. The moral of Two Sisters and an Old Man is to listen to people who give you certain instructions and to follow them because they know what to do and they could be telling you for a purpose. 2. If Ananse had shared the bananas, the story would be different because they would have shared the bananas and ate them together and they would still be friends. They would have been able to go back and get more bananas together, but instead Ananse got the ripe bananas and Baboon had to wait foir his to get ripe and they are no longer friends. 3. The story would be different if Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do because Ranti would have picked the golden fruit and bugs would have come out of her fruit. Bisi probably wouldn't have gone to the river because she would have seen that Ranti's fruit hasd lots of bugs in it asnd she wouldn't want a fruit like that. 4. You can apply the lesson of the tales to your life because whan you and a friend both have something really good, you should share with them and be kind to them because then they will be kind to you in return. Also, when someone, say a teacher, gives you specific instructions, you should do what they are telling you to do and not what you want to do because the are telling you it because they know what to do and what it right,. They are doing it for the better. They would help you do the right thing becasue you can see what went wrong in the stories and why they did the wrong thing, so you would know to do the right thing because you don't want something bad to happen to you.

Harrison 1) The moral of my ending of Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself is "Think your decisions through and never let greed take you over. My moral of my story Two Sisters and an Old Man is "Follow instructions carefully. Do not be selfish and do not be tempted to do otherwise or you will face the consequences. 2)The friends would have shared the bananas, and became closer together. They would not have fought, and they would not have learned their lesson. 3) She would have been punished for her wrongdoing. The will of the oldman is for the Ranti to do what she was instructed to do. If she would be tempted by selfishness, she would not have gotten rewarded. 4) Yes, you can apply the lessons and become a better person. If you are happy, respectful, the least bit selfish, you will get farther in life and make better friends. Yes, they would help you do the right thing, but unfortunatly the right thing isn't the best for you, so people are tempted to do otherwise in the world. If you follow the right thing best you can, people will respect you.

1. My moral for Kweku Anase Outsmarts Himself was to think of the future, not just the present. My moral for Two Sisters and an Old Man was to be kind to others, and good things will happen to you. 2. The whole story would have been changed if Anase ended up with stump, because then he would have all the fresh bananas. 3. If Ranti didn't do what Bisi said to the whole story would be changed because then she wouldn't have seen the man by the river and found the fruit. 4. You can apply these morals to your life by being kind to others, and by thinking about the future and the present. The morals of my stories can help you do the right things because they tell you about good things that you should do.

Coleman 1) For Kweku Ananse I said that the morale was that you should never be greedy, For two sisters I said that the morale was that you should always listen to instruction. 2)The Folktale would change because if he did not take the Bannanas the monkey and Kweku Ananse would still be friends. 3)If she had done what she was supposed to do she would have not died, she would have golds and riches. 4)You should always do what people tell you what should do, if you do the wrong you will be punished,

Payton 1) My moral of Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself was "don't draw conclusions" and my moral of Two Sisters and an Old Man was "it is always worth listeing to the wise's advice". 2) The folktale would have changed because if Ananse had not wanted all those bananas to himself they would have probably shared the bananas and they would most likely still be friends. 3) If Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do and had taken the golden fruit it would have been a lot worse because she would have been the one to disappear and instead of Bisi. 4) You can apply these lessons to your life by listening to everybody's advice when you are making a big decision because everybody has their own type of 'wise' or if you and you best friend are fighting and you don't know their side of the story you might want to try listening to them. It could totally be a mix up-and you could have totally lost your friend over it! These morals would help you do the right thing because they would help you see everybody's side of the story.

Adam 1. Be nice to your friends don't make them your enemies

Natasha 1. The moral of Kweku Anane Outsmarts Himself is no to be greedy. The moral of Two Sisters and an Old Man is to listen to others even if yo think something else is right. 2. If Ananse did not take all the ripe bananas than there would not be a moral and Ananse and Baboon would still be friends. 3.If Bisi did not take the golden fruit than Bisi would have gotten something good and she would still be mean to Ranti. 4. For Anase Outsmarts himself said the moral was not to be greedy, sometimes if my sister and I get a treat I want more of it, just like Anase did. Yes, because it told me that if you don't follow the moral of the story that something bad could happen to you

Alex R 1. greed can take away what you wanted in the first place. 2. ananse and baboon would be friends. and they both would have more bananas. 3. Ranti may have taken a golden fruit and what happened to bitsi would happen to her instead. 4.in real life we have alot of choices but only a vauge idea of the rewards and conciquinces. if we remimber what happened to ananse and what didnt happen to Ranti we could make better dicisions and be rewarded.

Logue 1. My moral of Kweku Ananse is "Don't be selfish, because you will only end up with no friends and a whole lot of enemies." My moral for Two Sisters is "If you are kind to others, kind things will happen to you." 2. If Kweku Ananse had not taken all the ripe bananas, then he would still have Adun as a friend. 3. If Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do, the fruit would not have brought her riches and fortune. 4. I can apply these lessons to my life by always being nice to others and doing good deeds. I think that the moral for Two Sisters would help me do the right thing, most often, because it is more clear on what it is trying to point out.

Carson 1. Kweku Anase outsmarts himself- When you're miserly don'tbite off more than you can chew, you might choke. Two Sisters and an Old Man- The elderly have pearls of wisdom do not disregard them 2. Anase would not have outsmarted himself and he and Adun would still be friends. HE would not have turned yellow and been made fun of. 3. If Ranti didn't do that she would have been plagued by the locusts all her life and would have run away leavin Bisi as the only daughter in the house. 4. Don't try to trick your friends you will lose that friend and they might even outsmart you knowing something you don't know. Another lesson is listen to elders and people in athority it is the best, and right thing to do

Chethan 1. The moral that I wrote for Kweku Anase... is "Be honest with your friends. The moral that I wrote for Two Sisters... is "What comes around goes around. 2.If Kweku Anase didn't steal all the riped bananas Adun wouldn't be mad at Kweku and they would probably be friends forever. 3. If Ranti took one of the golden fruits she would have probably been cursed and her sister Bisi would still treat her with disrespect maybe even worse. 4.If you applied the moral of Kweku Anase Outsmarts himself to your life which is "Be Honest with your friends" it would help you do the right thing because you would tell very feew lies meaning you get in less trouble with your friends and you have a better chance of not getting into trouble a lot. If you applied the moral of Two Sisters... which is "What comes around goes around" It would help you do right because its just like if you give something to someone your probably going to recieve something. If you do something bad your likely to get caught and punished.

Claudia 1. The moral of my Kweku Ananse story was to never take the bigger or better part of a deal because it may not end up being the best thing after all. The moral of my story about Two Sisters was to always do what you are told, because it is always the best thing for you. 2. Kweku Ananse would have changed if Ananse didn't take the bananas because the story wouln't have ended the same way because they both owuld have gotten some of the stump, the title would not be the same either because Ananse wouldn't have outsmarted himself. 3. The story Tow Sisters and an Old Man would have changed because Ranti probably wouldn't have been the main character, and wouldn't have been the main character either, also she wouldn't hvae ended up with the best part of the deal. 4. You can apply these lessons when people ask you if you would like something big like a T.V, or something as simple as faith, you should choose faith. And if your mom told you to take and apple and you took a peice of candy, you wouldn't be better off because maybe you will get sick or something like that.
