Wings of Web WARNING: THEN END MAY MAKE YOU CRY OR TEAR UP! Today was the day. It was official. The beginning of the butterfly and moth mating season. All of the butterflies were fluttering around looking for their special someone at day but when dusk arrived, the butterflies when back into there bushes and out came the moths. They started to talk and wonder for others. But in a plant hanging from the tree in a pot, there was a spider. She was a beautiful one too.
Every since she was a little spider, she always wanted to know what is like to fly. Just like she does every year, she sat on the edge and she watched the butterflies. Mostly how the wings worked. Then she got an idea. In her mind she said I know!
I CAN fly like them! I just need to make wings out of leaves! That will work for sure!
So she went on top of the plant she called home, and grabbed two big leaves and two slightly smaller leaves. then she want back to the pot edge and walked into a small clearing in the middle of the plant. She layed out her design with the leaves and stitch them up with a small about of her web. Then she put them on. Her very own set of wings were compleat.
She made her way to the edge of the pot. She jumped. she thought she would fall but she was actually flying! Or so she thought… All to soon, she was falling down to the ground. Everything went black. When she woke up she saw tall stripes of green starting from the ground and going x3 taller then her into the sky. She was in the grass, on the ground.
Stuck. Alone. Forgotten.
Then she heard a rustle from the grass to the left of her. Something was moving in the grass. She was so aghast of the noise the she was petrified. Then a black bug,1 inch taller than her’ asked the poor spider why she was here. The spider just stood there. The black bug realized that she was scared of him. “i am sorry if i frighten you miss. I mean no harm. I am just as stuck down here as you are.”
The spider calmed down a little. She asked what he was. The black bug sood there. He seemed to be wrapped in something. So he unwaveld his wings and they were bigger than any wings the spider had seen before. He was One of the biggest butterflies alive. He liffied his left wing to put them back but then a peeling noise happened. His beautiful wings were falling off.
The spider stood in awe. It was the saddest thing she ever saw. Soon the moth's wings were laying on the ground. He was astonished of what had happened. The spider started to say “I am SO sorry! It's all my fault! If i did not think i could actually fly with leaves i-” The moth said “so that's why your here...and my wings were going to fall of sooner or later...it's not your fault. Never think that.” Yet the spider started to tear up. The moth tried to calm her down a little.
All out of thin air,the spider started to mumble an idea to herself. The moth asked her what she was saying but then she started to go back and forth. Then she grabbed the moth's wings and started to wrap them in web. It took a while but she finished. Then she grabbed a stick. She ran to the nearest tree and jabbed the stick in the tree. Out came sap. she used it to attach the wings to the moth.
He had wings.
The moths was overjoyed and hugged the spider and thanked her very much. He bent down then leaped up into the air. He was flying! He started back to the bushes. The spider was happy and sad at the same time. She helped someone in the best way she could yet she was left in the grass.
Just then she saw the big showdown of the moth and looked up. He was holding a out his hand. The spider grabbed it. She was pulled up into the air and was put on his back. She was flying! He flew her to her pot.
He asked if her could stay the night. She said yes. They slept and in the morning the moth asked her for a huge amount of web. She started to roll some up into a ball. Then she gave the huge ball to him. About an hour later,he came back with wings and sap on the end. He put them on her back. Now her dream came true. The moth moved in and they had a happy life. At the end of the mating season, they had an egg. Sadly, after spiders lay there eggs they pass away. The moth and the spider both were at the edge. They laid down by there egg and as time passed bye, were gone.
A few months passed bye and then the egg started to move. Out popped a teal spider. She walked toward the edge of the pot. She looked at the butterflies fly around and started to sprout wings. She flew off with the other butterflies and lived
Happily.
Ever.
After.
THE END
