Practice Words
Mmoatia is a wee fairy in the deep wood. She has a spoon, and the spoon can get food. Look at the food in her container!
Anansi sits in a web, and he is hungry. The children are fed, but he has nothing. A parrot comes for a chat. A spoon that can get food? Anansi must get that spoon!
Anansi peeps from a green plant. Mmoatia sings and mixes the pot with her spoon. She sets food in green dishes, and all get a bit.
Mmoatia sits with her dish, and the spoon rests next to it. Anansi peeps from the plant. He has a plan, and it is a bad plan!
Quick as a flash, Anansi grabs the spoon and runs. He runs and runs in the deep wood. Mmoatia sits at rest, and she is not upset.
Back in the den, Anansi dips the spoon in a big container. He mixes and mixes, but the container is empty. He taps it and bangs it, but he gets nothing.
Anansi drags the spoon back to the fairy. It can not act for greed. He slumps at the root with an empty gut. Mmoatia nods, and she is not mad at all.
Mmoatia hands the spoon back to Anansi. It can act if he lets all get some food. Anansi grips the spoon. He must test that plan.
Anansi sets the spoon in the container. He mixes, and he is not in a mad rush. Soon the spoon is lit up, and the container loads up with rich hot food!
Anansi loads a green dish to the brim, and he sets it for Mmoatia. He is hungry, but she gets the best bit. Mmoatia grins a big grin. Next, Anansi gets a dish and has some food.
Anansi packs up the rest in a food pack. It is a gift for the children. He sets it on the path and creeps back in the dark. He feels very glad.
Anansi and Mmoatia sit at the big root, and the pot brims with hot food. A wee bug gang dots the dark wood. If you let all get some food, the pot can load up, and that is a fact!
