New Yorkers say that the park is their own 'front garden', where they can relax and escape from the noise of one of the busiest cities in the world. There are lots of things to do in the park. You can play games, go jogging, cycling, horse-riding, or rollerblading, or simply sunbathe on the grass. You can visit the Metropolitan Museum, and there's even a zoo! There are 58 miles of paths to explore, but don't worry if you get tired; you can have a rest on one of the benches. There are outdoor concerts and plays and, if you want something to eat, there are some great restaurants. Central Park is well-known all over the world and around 25 million people visit it each year. It is considered a good family tourist attraction. However, the park hasn't always been so popular. When it opened, in 1858, only rich people used it. Poor people said it was too expensive to get there. When transport became cheaper, the park became more popular and, in 1926, the first playground was built. But in the 1960s and the 1970s the park became dirty and dangerous, so people didn't want to go there. Then, in 1980, an organization called the Central Park Conservancy took control and everything changed. They spent million of dollars on the park. They planted trees and added a lot of new attractions. Now there are 21 playgrounds and there's even a skating rink. It costs 520 million a year to look after Central Park, but most people agree that it's worth it. 2 P a g e

He was a very greedy spider and did not like sharing any of his things with others. One day, he collected some lovely yams from his garden and cooked them with utmost care. The delicious smell of the yams made Anansi hungrier. Just as he sat down to eat his meal; he heard a knock at his door. Anansi was opened the door quickly. It was the turtle. He has been travelling for a very long time and looked very tired and hungry. Can I please stay for lunch? I am hungry and tired of all the travelling, the turtle said. Anansi was not willing to share his food with the turtle. But it was a custom in the country to share food with visitors who came during lunch or dinner hours. So, Anansi could not refuse. Nevertheless, he was determined not to share his delicious yams with the turtle. Please have a seat and enjoy your meal, Anansi said to the turtle. Both of them sat on the chairs. The turtle was about to eat when Anansi suddenly stopped him. Don t you know that you must clean your hands before you touch your meal? Please wash your hands before you eat, Anansi instructed the turtle. The turtle took a look at his hands and saw that they were full of dirt as he has been walking for a very long time. He went to a nearby river and returned after washing his hands. Anansi had started his meal. The yams were getting really cold so I started my lunch. Please join me now, Anansi said. 5 P a g e

6 However, even this time when the turtle reached for his meal, Anansi stopped him by giving him the same reason. The poor turtle saw that his hands had become dirty once again as he walked back from the river to the house. The turtle was very hungry and tired by now. But he still went back to the river to wash his hands. This time he was determined not to let his hands get dirty. He was careful and walked only on the grass to keep his hands clean. But by the time he reached the table, Anansi had already finished all the food. The turtle was angry and humiliated. Thank you for the lovely lunch. I would like to invite you over to my place for a meal someday, the turtle said and left. A few days had past and Anansi started thinking about the turtle s invitation. So one day, he went at the bank of the river under which the turtle had his house and stood there at dinner time. The turtle saw him and said, Hello Anansi, thank you for coming. Please have dinner with me. The turtle invited Anansi inside his house, which was underwater. Anansi could not wait any longer and quickly dived into the water. But alas, he was too light and could not swim deep into the water. So he kept floating. Anansi started thinking hard and finally decided to pick up some rocks and put them in the pockets of his jacket. His plan was successful and this time Anansi reached straight to the turtle s house after diving underwater. Anansi was impressed to see the delicious spread and was about to dig into the first bite when the turtle stopped him. Dear Anansi, kindly remove your jacket before you touch the food. In our custom we do not eat with our jackets on, the turtle said. Anansi saw that even the turtle was not wearing his jacket. Anansi removed his jacket which was full of rocks and within no time he went rushing up to the surface of the water. Anansi could see the turtle slowly eating the lovely meal. Anansi felt sad and slowly climbed out of the water. 6 P a g e
