2 Pictures for the Creation Story


This is the Togo flag. This flag is related to the Ananse spider story because this story originally came from West Africa, Togo. This story is well known in the whole of West Africa and is used as a story telling device by many people.

This is a picture of a sneaky spider which is the captain of the court which God set up. It is called Ananse and this spider tries to overcome God or tries to prove that he is equal to God. So, God Wulbari gives him a task to bring something. The spider disguised into a bird and overheard what something is and proved that he is equal to God.
