Create a single full-page children's book illustration. Use the attached character reference images and match each named character exactly — same shapes, colours and clothing; do not redesign them. SCENE: Anansi (match attached reference) leans nose-to-moss against Moss-Covered Rock (match attached reference) at the foot of a hill in the odum forest, legs splayed as his eyes begin to close. Damp ferns and tall odum trunks are visible. COMPOSITION: Compose ONE full-bleed scene with a single continuous background that fills the whole image, characters at natural size placed toward the RIGHT. Keep the LEFT 50% text area genuinely open — plain, continuous background with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations in it — while the rest of the scene fills the frame naturally. That LEFT 50% text area must be the SAME continuous background colour as the scene (not a flat panel, not a different shade, no dividing line). Do NOT shrink or squash the characters. Book text will be overlaid in the LEFT 50% text area. Do not include any written text, letters, numbers, captions, speech bubbles, signs, labels, logos, or watermarks anywhere; the image must be purely illustrative.

Anansi spots a rock at a foothill. It has soft green moss. 'This is an odd, mossy rock!' And Anansi gets very, very sleepy.

Anansi gets up and blinks. That odd rock lulls Anansi to sleep! Then he grins a big grin. 'This rock will fill me up with food!' Anansi yells.

Keep the TOP 50% text area genuinely open — plain, continuous background with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations in it — while the rest of the scene fills the frame naturally.

Anansi has a plan, a clever plan. He will bring Elephant to the rock and grab all her food. Off he runs, very happy.
