autobiography of a spider

Answer 1

Answer:

Autobiography of a

Spider

(Copied).

Let me introduce myself.

I am a spider of a light fawn

color. I have spun my silken web on a

dry black wood tree, which grows in

company, with many others in a vast

forest.

My chief food is flies of all descrip

tions. I also cat moths and mosquitoes.

I often enjoy myself by throwing my

web from a, branch of a tree to the

ground, and climbing up and down.

Now I have told you about myself,

let me tell you of an adventure I had

not so very long; ago. It was a damp

morning, and I was playing in my usual

way, when I heard someone laugh, and

presently two little girls came dancing

up to me.

"Oh," cried one, "look at that

spider." Now some people are afraid

of me, but if they only knew it, I am

much more afraid of them. I tried des

perately to climb up to my web, but

fear seemed to rob me of my Strength,

and then, before I knew it, one of the

girls picked up a stick from the ground

and broke my silken bridge, and I fell

to the ground.

I tried to make my escape through

tho dry leaves, but was not quick

enough, for the little girl picked up in

her hand and put mo in a bottle which

the other girl held.

She then screwed tho lid down on it.

I can't tell what would have happen

ed to me if my captor hud not tripped

over a stone on her way home, and

broken my prison open.

I was quick to hide myself under a

leaf, where the girl could not find me.

Luckily the girls had not gone far,

and I was able to find my way home. .

When I arrived there were several

flies caught in my web, and I soon made

a tasty meal.

I will say good-bye now, for I think

I can hoar some flies trying to make

their escape from my web.
