Greedy Spider is a very friendly female spider who loves her neighbors. She is very skilled at building silk nets, which act both as a trap for ensnaring prey and as a dwelling place for her. She uses the net to trap insects and animals. Moreover other animals are jealous of her because she builds beautiful silk nets. But the forest creatures knew they could only watch from afar, for if they got too close they could become breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a snack for Greedy Spider.

This story is set in Nyantro, a small village on a rolling hill 55 miles outside of Greenville and near Liberia. The orgin of the story goes back more than 700 years.  My grandfather has told and retold this story to me and the children of Nyantro just as it was passed on to him by his elders years before.

The Greedy Spider was invited to join her neighbors for the Thanksgiving feast. She receives 4 invitations from her neighbors on either side of her home, across the street, and behind her house. She promised each neighbor that she would definitely be at the dinner, so she suggested to each neighbor to tie a rope around her waist and pull when the dinner is ready. Surprisingly, each dinner was prepared at the same time and all the neighbors started pulling. Laugh and learn together and you may guess that she never got to eat at any neighbors.
