Long long ago, there was a spider. She found a beautiful farm. She liked the farm and decided to live there forever.
One day, the spider caught a little bug. When the spider ate it, the bug said, “If you let me go, I will tell you an important thing. The thing will save your life.” The spider stopped and listened.
