After a month of sojourn,Ananse returned to his village fully satisfied that he had collected all the wisdom in the world which he put inside a gourd and covered it tightly.He tied a rope around the neck of the gourd and in turn hung it around his neck so that the gourd rested on his stomach.He then proceeded to climb a tree to place the gourd on top of the tree out of the reach of any human being.But the more he tried to climb the tree,the harder it became.He tried several times without success as the gourd prevented him from doing so smoothly.

Meanwhile,Ntikuma watched him from a distance with his brother Etire and sisters Afuro and Niyaa.He shouted"Father,place the gourd at your back to facilitate a smooth climbing."Angered by the fact that some wisdom had,after all remained in the world,Ananse flung the gourd onto the ground.As the gourd broke into pieces,people from all walks of life rushed to the scene to scramble for some of it contents,which scattered around.
