In this story, Anansí is invited to three different parties but realizes that it is not possible to attend all three of the lunches at the same time. He decides to tie a rope around his waist and then gives each of his hosts an end of the rope to tug. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe then asks them to tug the rope when the food is ready so that he can make it to each party when lunch is served. But Anansí receives a surprise when all three lunches are ready at once and each of his friends tugs the rope at the same time. He gets caught in the middle when the rope pulls him in opposite directions and his waist is squeezed tightly in three places. Afterwards he waits for his waist to expand but it never does and that is why spiders now have such small waists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis trickster tale from Africa teaches readers the importance of citizenship, resourcefulness and responsibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bobby Norfolk, Sherry Norfolk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874838525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874838527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e August House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 7.98w x 0.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e124010 \/ Anansi Goes to Lunch\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bobby Norfolk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926714810623,"sku":"9780874838527","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4e47c5f0-fdd1-473a-bacb-aceb7df15648.jpg?v=1681084604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anansi-goes-to-lunch-bobby-norfolk-9780874838527","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
