Deep in the heart of Africa, the animals were in distress. A powerful gust had blown away their food and left their homes in disarray. They believed the Whispering Winds, magical entities that heard the earth’s murmurs, were responsible.
The animals turned to Anansi. “You’re clever and cunning. Can you discover the Winds’ grievance?”
Scaling the highest mountain peak, Anansi sought conversation with the Winds. “Why bring such turmoil?” he inquired.
The Winds replied, “The land cries out. Rivers are tainted, trees fall, and discord reigns. We seek to purify the world.”
Anansi paused, then proposed, “Grant me time. I’ll try to restore balance. If the land heals, will you relent?”
The Winds nodded in agreement. Anansi rallied the animals. They cleansed the rivers, planted trees, and vowed to cherish their surroundings.
Seeing the world mend, the Whispering Winds calmed their tempest.
Moral: Harmony with nature is not a choice but an imperative for all living beings.
