The Sky God is a male god of Africa. Long ago, most stories were told about the Sky God. A spider named Anansi strove to become the subject of these stories instead and let his intentions be known to the Sky God, who agreed to Anansi's request. Before giving over his stories, the Sky God required Anansi to bring him three objects: a swarm of bees, a python, and a leopard. Anansi fulfilled the three tasks, and the stories about the Sky God dwindled, while stories of Anansi became commonplace.
