Question

Once upon a time, there was a spider(蜘蛛) with the name Anansi. He knew that he was clever but he also knew he wasn't wise. He didn’t like this，but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom. All people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.

Soon his basket was full，but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body，he tried to climb the tree，but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.

 Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing，father?” he asked and Anansi told him.“Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.

 Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily，but he wasn’t happy.“1 walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever，but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!”he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that's how wisdom went all over the world.

试题分析：这是一个寓言故事。故事讲述了一个叫Anansi的蜘蛛想变成一个聪明智慧的蜘蛛，于是他拿着个篮子满村转让人们给他一些他们的智慧。人们把智慧装满了他的篮子，他想把装满智慧的篮子放到树梢上，儿子告诉他背着篮子爬树更容易，他认为这些智慧没有用，于是把装满智慧的篮子洒向空中。这就是为什么全世界到处都充满了智慧的原因。
