Once Anansi wanted to be the “Master of Stories”, but Nyame owned all the stories in the world.

So Nyame set a high price, “My price is Onini, the python who can swallow a goat; Osebo, the leopard with teeth as sharp as spears; Mmoboro, the hornet whose sting is like red hot needles. Bring to me all of these and my box with all the stories shall be yours.”
Nyame thought he had given Anansi a challenge that he would refuse!

First, he went near where Onini lived and debated out loud whether the Python was longer than the palm stick or not.
Onini overheard and, when Anansi explained the debate we had with this wife, the Python agreed to lie along the stick.
But Onini had difficulty keeping stretched, so Python agreed to be tied to the branch. When he was completely tied, Anansi took him to Nyame.

To catch the Osebo, Anansi dug a deep hole in the ground. When the leopard felt in the hole Anansi offered helping him out. But as soon as the leopard got close enough, Anansi tied the leopard.

He tricked Mmoboro and all the hornets by telling them that it was raining. He suggested the hornets get into his empty calabash and when Mmoboro was inside, Anansi quickly sealed the opening. After Anansi handed his captives over, Nyame rewarded him by making him the God of All Stories.
