Answer:

1. On the other side of the world

2. Grandmother Spider used teamwork and logic with the buzzard.

3. The babbling brooks and children learn that sometimes change is good and that things aren't always the way they seen.

4. It is true that foxes have dark noses and possums have a bare tail, but it is different because these animals can talk and get along with each other.

5. The story suggests Grandmother Spider is wise and thinks about things before doing them.

6. I think "How Grandmother Spider Stole the Sun" is titled like this because the story is about how the spider used teamwork to get the sun for her and her friends.

7. When Quetzelcoatl got to the Sun, everyone groaned and complained.

"Quetzelcoatl, why do you have to be here? You are boring and bland just like the Earth."

Normally, Quetzelcoatl would have gotten very angry, but after everything he had done, he just cried. Soon, he had filled up the house of the sun with his tears. The water soaked all the musicians. They didn't want to sing ever again.  The Sun and its musicians no longer sang. The Earth with all its plants shriveled up and died. Without music the Earth was nothing.

Explanation:

hope this helps!
