Stories from Around the World

From Africa's Anansi to China's Dragon Gate — the tales that sailed the whole world to reach Phulpakhi.

5 stories

Some stories belong to no single country — they have sailed on ships, walked with caravans, and travelled mouth to mouth around the whole world.

Anansi the clever spider from Africa, the animal musicians of Bremen from Germany, the brave carp at the Dragon Gate from China — so many lands, so many tales! Phulpakhi's little sailing ship keeps voyaging to gather them all for you.

Fun facts

The Anansi spider tales come from Ghana in West Africa — and they crossed whole oceans by ship!

A Chinese tale says that if a carp can leap the Dragon Gate on the Yellow River, it turns into a dragon!

The tale of the Bremen town musicians comes from the storybook of Germany's Brothers Grimm.

Almost every country on Earth has its own fables — and funnily enough, many faraway lands made up stories with almost the same lesson!
