The
Spider and the Bird
There was once a very big spider. If a bug got into his web, he would examine it. However, he didn’t eat the bug right away. He asked the bug a question first. It was always quite a difficult puzzle. If the bug’s answer was correct, he let it go. If not, he ate it. One day, a small bird on a journey flew into the spider’s web. The spider couldn’t imagine eating a bird. It was so big! But his hunger was too great. He said to the bird, “If you cannot give me a specific answer, I will eat you.” The bird laughed. “I could eat you!” But the bird was actually scared. She had used all her energy trying to get out of the web. And a spider’s bite can be very effective in killing animals. “Please don’t eat me,” the bird said. “I would rather make a deal with you.” “OK,” the spider said. “If your answer is right, I will let you go. If not, you must give me a gift. It must be something of great value.” The bird said, “You can pick anything you want to eat. I will find it for you.” The spider agreed. “Where can you take a trip to the coast, the desert, and the mountains at the same time?” the spider asked. The bird asked, “Does this place have earthquakes?” But the spider did not say anything. “I can see those places when I fly. Is the ‘sky’ the right answer?” “False!” said the spider. “The answer is Hawaii! Now you must find some bugs for me.” The spider climbed on the bird’s back. They flew and ate bugs together. They took a tour of the forest. Then the bird took the spider home. From that day on, they were friends. And they never tried to eat each other again.
