27: Anasi's Lucky Day

Author: gaathastory October 12, 2020 Duration: 4:07

Listen to another story about Akadeli. This time, learn what happens on his lucky day.

The story is set in Africa, although the continent is not explicitly mentioned, the mention of a big river and a traditional wedding with people wearing grass on their heads suggests an African setting.


The story revolves around four girls, Akadeli, Lucy, Achareth, and Mary, who go to a forest to pick wild fruits. Akadeli, who closes her eyes while picking fruits, ends up with unripe fruits, but later, she has a series of unfortunate events that ultimately lead to her receiving a big bull as a gift.


Moral of the story: The story teaches children the importance of perseverance and not giving up, even when faced with setbacks and disappointments. It also highlights the value of kindness and generosity, as Akadeli's good fortune is a result of her kindness and generosity to others. Additionally, the story cautions against the consequences of mocking or belittling others, as Lucy, Achareth, and Mary's behavior towards Akadeli ultimately leads to their regret.
