1. The moral of my story for Ananse was to always share and think about how much you eat at one time. The moral of my story for Two Sisters is to always be kind and caring if you're rich or poor. 2. If Ananse had shared the bananas he and Baboon would still be friends. 3. If Ranti had picked the gold fruit she would have gotten bad things like Bisi and they would bothe be upset. 4. The story of Two Sisters reminds me just a little bit of me and my sister, but I'm a lot nicer to her than Bisi was to Ranti. Ananse reminds me of myself because sometimes I outsmart myself too.Next time one of those things happens to me, I'll think about what I'm doing.

Maya 1. The moral of my story in Anase is to pay attention to your surroundings. The moral of my story in Two Sisters was to respect your elders and never be greedy. 2. I believe if Anase had not done what he did with the bananas the story would have been different because then there would not have been a moral because Ananse had done the right thing. 3. I believe if Ranti had not done what she did the story would have been different because the moral would have been different because Ranti did the right thing. 4. I could apply the morals of the folktales to my life by listning to the morals and following them. I believe the moral would help me do the right thing because I would belive in them because they are supported by a story.

Amanda 1.) The moral of the story Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himslef is if you do not share people will not share with you and it can cause a bad freindship. The moral of the story for Two Sisters and an Old Man is Dont judge a book by its cover. 2.)If Ananse did not try to take the bannas then he would have not ended the freindship with he and Babbon and they could have ended up still being freinds like they were before, so it would have had a much different ending. 3.)If Ranti had not done what she was suppoed to do by, choosing the bad fruit then Bisi would not have bothered to go ask the Old Man where the amazing fruit was so nothing good would have happened to ranti and Bisi would be the same. 4.) The lesson of the morals couls apply to me and my life becasue they are both lessons that you should always use and they teach you to always do the right thing. In Kweku Anase Outsmarts himslef If you do not share with people then people will not share with you and it can lead to a bad freindship, can apply becasue if someone shares with me and i do not share with them then it could reslut in a bad freindship. In Two Sisters and an Old Man the lesson is, dont judge a book by its cover, I could use this every day becasue maybe when you see someone that you might not like you should get to know them not just look at them and try to asume what they are like, you could end up being freinds.

Kendall 1. The moral of my story in Ananse was to not get greedy like Anase, but to share instead of trying to trick others. 2. If Ananse had not done what he did with the bananas the story would have been different because Baboon would tell Ananse the bananas were bad and Ananse would not have eaten them. they would never have gotten into a fight and they would be friends. 3. If Ranti had taken the golden fruit instead of the the rotton one, she would have never got the riches that she deserved. Also, Bisi would not have seen the riches and gone to get her own. 4. I could apply the folktale morals to my life by sharing and not being greedy, and not judging things by how they look. They would help me to do the right thing, like the next time I want something all to myself I will think of Ananse and share. I will think of Ranti and trust people and do what they say.

Tillman 1. The moral of the story is think before you act, and reason the situation; be fair. The moral of the story is Do good things and good things will come in return. 2.If Anance didnt do what he did he could have reasoned who got the stump and the bunch of bananas. 3. Ranti would have not had any riches and Bisi wouldn't have tried to get even more riches like Ranti. 4. For my first moral, think before you act and reason out the situation, it could help with being nice and getting more friends. On the second moral do good things, and good things will come in return, even if you dont get a good thing in return you will still feel good about yourself and a good person.

Kiana 1. The moral I wrote for Kweku Ananse was " what comes around goes around." The moral that I wrote for Two Sisters and an Old Man was "do unto others as you have them do unto you." 2. If Ananse would have shared the bananas with Baboon and kept the tree for future times they would still be friends. 3. If Ranti would have gotten the golden fruit bad things would have happened to her. 4. In Kweku Ananse I would say you shouldn't be selfish and think about yourself all the time.The story about the two sisters I would say that when you are only thinking about the fortune of yourself you may actually turn out to have bad fortune.

Alex 1) My moral for Kweku Anase Outsmarts Himself is to never be selfish and be nice to your friends an in turn you will recieve the same respect.My moral for Two Sisters and an Old Man was to know that you can trust someone even if you don't know them. 2)If Anase hadn't done what he did in Kweku Anase Outsmarts Himself the baboon and Anase would've stayed friends and maybe today baboons wouldn't scratch themselves as much today. 3)If Ranti had not followed her instructions in Two Sisters and an Old Man her life would probaly be even more miserable and Bisi would make fun of Ranti all she wanted to. 4)I think the lesson of the tales apply to my life because I should be respectful especially to my friends and I should trust someone if they seem trustworthy. I think the lessons would help me do the right thing beacuse being trustworthy means a lot and always respect someone even if you dont like them. That's a lesson a lot of people need to work on including me.

Ellie 1. Stay ture to your friends and do the right thing. 2. They would have stayed friends and it wouldn't be a good story to tell because nothing happens. 3. They would have stayed tight and would have never had that problem. 4. This would apply in my life, if my friends got in a fight they would need to work it out and appologize. Yes, it does because what Ranti had did was wrong and it makes you really clear.

Comer

1. The moral of my Anase story will be to always share with your friends. The moral of my Two sisters and a old man story was that hard work and good choises will always pay off. 2. If Anase had shared the bananas before hand it would have ben a happier ending. 3. If Ranti had picked the golden fruit Bisi would have not gottin her mom back. 4. If I could apply the morals to my life I would share more and not be a spoiled brat. It would help me do the right thing by teaching me to share with others and to work hard and make good choises.

Augusta 1.) The moral of the folktale I wrote for Kweky Ananse Out Smart Himself was to think before you speak and don't be sneaky. The moral of the folktail I wrote for Two Sisters and an Old Man was to be nice to everyone and to listen. 2.) I think that the folktale would of changed in the way that Ananse and the Baboon would be best friends still and the baboon wouldn't have as many bananas. 3.) I think she would of turned into something like an ugly animal. 4.) I can apply the lessons/morals of the tales to my life becuase everytime i think of the folktales, i also think of the morals and vice versa. Yes, the moral of the tales would make me do the right thing.

Katherine 1. The moral for "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself" was that you shouldn't be greedy because it might cause you to stop using common sense. 2. If Ananse had not taken all of the ripe bananas then his bananas would still be eatable and not spoiled. 3. If Ranti had not done what she was supposed to do then she would not have gotton all of the riches from the fruit. 4. I can apply the lessons of the stories to my life because sometimes there are things that look really good on the outside and really are not good and and there are sometimes times where you think you are getting what you want to get but you really end up getting a bad deal. Yes the lessons would help me do the right things because I can learn from the mistakes of the characters in the story and follow the lessons that they learned.

Samantha 1. My moral in Kweku Anase outsmarts himself, was to not be selfish. My moral in Two Sisters and an Old Man, was do follow directions, even if they seem stupid. 2. The folk tale would have changed in Kweku Anase Outmarts himself, if Anase was paying attention when he grabbed the bananas. He wasn't, so he accidently grabbed the stems of the bananas. If he had just shared with bananas with Baboon, he would of ended up with half the bananas instead of none. 3. The folk tale would of changed in Two sisters and an Old Man if Rani had not done whst the old man told her to do. If she took the fruit off the tree that had golden fruit, she would have got home with nothing but rotton fruit. 4. I can apply these folk tales to my life, because every time I get selfish, I end up with nothing. Also, if i don't follow directions, i could study the wrong things for a test and make a bad grade. Yes, the morals make me do the right thing. They teach you that there are consequences fot when you do the wrong thing.

Eliza 1. The moral of Kweku Anase was to never take anything for granted, no matter the value. The moral of Two Sisters and an Old Man was the golden rule, treat others as you would like to be treated. 2. If Kweku hadn't been greedy, he wouldn't have ended up eating the rotten fruit and having to deal with that nasty stoamch ache. 3. If Ranti hadn't listened to the old man and take the golden fruit, she wouldn't deserve the riches. 4. I can apply these morals to my life by remembering to be grateful for what I have and treating everyone with respect. This would help me do the right thing, because I don't want to end up like Kweku or Ranti if she hadn't obeyed.

Merrick 1. The moral of my story in "Kweku Ananse Outsmarts Himself" was to not ot let your eyes be bigger than your stomach and to share with others. The moral of my story in " Two sisters and an old man" was to never give bad in return for bad, nothing good comes of that." 2. I believe if Ananse had not done what he did with the bananas the story would have been different because then Ananse and Baboon would still have been best friends and they wouldn't argue or fight over food. 3. I believe if Ranti had not done what she did, the story would have been different because then instead of getting rewards and prizes, Ranti would have gotten the opposite of the rewards and Bisi would have noticed then she would go pick the rotten fruits. Then Bisi would be the one with the rewards and prizes. 4. The moral would help me in life by learning to share with others, not to be greedy, and not to give bad in return for bad. It would help me because if you share with others, your life would benefit because that is what God want us to do. If you are not greedy, others would would be able to benefit and receive what you get. If you dont give bad in return for bad, others will treat you better and with respect.

Cameron 1. The moral of the folktale that I wrote for Kweku Ananse is "Don't ue trickery on someone, because it could come back to haunt you". The moral of the folktale that I wrote for Two Sisters is "Treat others the way you want to be treated". 2. In Kweku Ananse, the folktale would have changed if Ananse hadn't took the bananas would be that Kweku Ananse and the Adon would still be friends. 3. In the Two Sisters, the folktale would have changed if Ranti hadn't done what she was supposed to do would that she would have be changed and been nice to Bisi forever. 4. I can apply these lessons of my life by treating everybody like their the same person. Yes, I could use these lessons in everyday life because these things and situaions happen to me everyday.

Rankin 1. The moral of the story for Ananse is that you should always share. The moral of the story for Two Sisters is that you should trust one another. 2. The story would have changed because Baboon would have gotten really mad at Anase and then we would be able to see what happened to Ananse. 3. If Ranti didn't do what she was supposed to do she would neer be able to start a new life and have lots of money. 4. I can apply this to my life because in Ananse, I don't share as much as I could. In Two Sisters I can apply this to my life because I don't always trust other people. Yes because I will try to share more and trust other people more.
