Why was Zeus angy at the Prometheus?
Zeus really was all about having power over the humans. He saw himself as almighty and thought nothing of the mortals. On the other hand Prometheus was willing to give himself for the humans. He was thought to bring fire to the earth from Mt. Olympus. Also he scalped humans out of clay and they were unhappy so he decided to give them fire to brighten their lives (even though he suffered harsh punishments from Zeus for stealing the flame).
Of course all of this is in Greek Mythology.

Why did Zeus refuse to give Prometheus fire?
Zeus did not refuse. When Prometheus made man, he wanted to bestow upon him a special gift, but his brother, Epimetheus gave all the gifts to the other animals. So, Prometheus, knowing man was special, made him walk upright on two legs, like the gods, and gave him fire to master.
Prometheus then taught man about the gods, and helped them prepare their first offering. Favoring man over his cousin, Prometheus made two offerings to Zeus. The first was the best cuts of meat wrapped in an ox's stomach (something nourishing that looks unpleasant) and the beef bones wrapped in fat (something inedible that looks pleasing... keeping in mind that fat was an important part of the diet). Zeus took the latter, setting the precedent for future offerings. OUtraged that he'd been tricked by Prometheus, Zeus took fire away from Man and hid it on Mt. Olympus.
Prometheus stole the fire, returned it to man, and paid the price by being chained to a rock and having an eagle eat his liver daily. Mankind paid as well, for Zeus sent Pandora with her box of woe to plague mankind forever.

At first, only the Gods had control of fire. The first humans on earth were cold always, and, although Prometheus felt bad for them, Zeus didn't allow them to have fire. Prometheus eventually stole the fire and gave it to men. The other thing he had against him was when the humans were sacraficing to the Gods, Prometheus came up with a clever plan. He made a pile of meat, but covered it with bones and leftovers. Then he took a pile of leftovers and bones and sovered it with shavings of meat, so it looked appealing. When asked which pile they wanted, the Gods chose the pile of bones, but of course, it turned out just to be leftovers. Zeus was very angry about both of these things.
