King Lion wants to find out who is the smartest and most clever animal in the animal kingdom. Anansi the spider boasts loudly of his own wisdom but is challenged by a mockingbird because, unlike birds, he cannot fly. Anansi takes up the challenge, builds himself wings and takes off into the sky as the animals watch him go. However, Anansi quickly learns a lesson on boasting when he tries to fly with an eagle and gets too close to the Sun.
