Spider watched Ant carry his heavy load along the window ledge.
"Come and rest your heavy load in my web," The cunning spider said.
The cautious ant who had no time for the spider's games replied, "No thank you Spider. I can haul ten times this weight without getting tired. But I would ask you to show me how you spin such a grand web as this."
The spider who loved to brag, began to weave through his web, becoming tangled in his own deceit.
He turned to Ant and said, "This is my fault. I tried my devilish deception to trap you, for I am hungry, but it is you who tricked me."

Fabulous! A formic acid sting.
ReplyDeleteI love your fable! Looks like Ant had both brains AND brawn :)
ReplyDeleteCan spiders actually become tangled in their own webs-deceptive or otherwise?
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh, Robyn! :)
ahhh, only a gentle bottle at the most :) Very cute...I really like fables and enjoy teaching them to my students.
ReplyDeleteGreat F word Robyn...Have a Great day!
No need to duck. No flying bottles here. I thought it was cute.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with the poem The Spider and the Fly?
ReplyDeleteBack when I was teaching, I used to love covering fables to my students. At the end, I had them write their own fables. One time a student wrote out an episode of Ren and Stimpy. Unfortunately for him, I'd seen that episode... otherwise, it would've been a very good fable. =)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! No banana peels or bottles from me. :-)
