  2. He is a greedy spider and he don't share his food and he is lazy. At the end of the story it was Hat Shaking Day and he said he would stay in the grass so no one could see his big bold head.

  5. Anansi is a greedy character, thats what caused his hair to fall off. I can tell that he is greedy, because he tried to eat all the beans before
    the feast. He poured the beans to the brim,then he put it on, they
    were so hot it burn his hair off.
