WEB LIES
They live close by and
you can hear the whispers. One tries to outdo the other.
It’s like it’s a contest
as to who as the better gossip.
They both know everyone’s
business including the meadow fairy that it annoys to no end.
One day a dragon fly
approached one of the webs and being very brave asked the one spider why she
didn’t move. There was a lovely spot over in the daisy meadow.
He fluttered away in
time. He asked the wrong one.
The meadow fairy decided
to pay them a visit as well. But she feared not.
She eyed both their homes
up that were almost touching. The wind had tattered them in places. And dew
pulled some ends down in ragged fashion.
She saw the tiny black
dots near the middle of each one. The fairy knew that they were watching her
intently.
She sighed. “It is time
that you ended your feud. I will make a suggestion. Both of you will move to
different areas that are of course to your liking and you will both have my
protection.”
That spurred movement from
both of them and soon they both came to the edges of their webs. They did not
look at each other but gave the fairy queen full attention.
The meadow fairy smiled. “That’s
better. Now follow me and I will show you some excellent locations.”
After much snapping at
each other, they both found their perfect places.
Of course each spot over
looked the entire meadow and they could still see each other and keep an eye on
one another.
Their gossip continued.
