"Once, on the back of a snake, there lived a spider. The Spider was born to a family of spiders, all serving the World. The World had many children, but very few friends. One day, The World lost a friend, and, looking for a new one, came upon the Spider. The Spider and the World found between themselves a mutual understanding, and the Spider knew that the two of them were above the lowly insects beneath. The World made the Spider very strong, and the Spider made the World very happy with the many toys he made. But the insects didn't like the Spider at all. While the Spider built the World its toys, the insects were eaten, one at a time. One day, one broke free. The Spider thought little of it, until one day, his friend the monkey found some troubling news. A mutual friend, the doctor, had met with the child of the fly that got away. The child was protected by a powerful bear, and so the spider could not catch it. The spider told the bear that if it worked for him, he would give the child safe haven, and fix it, the bear agreed, and that was that. Then, one day, the Spider's friends decided the doctor had gone too far. Together with the monkey, the Spider set out to stop him, and destroy the child. However, even though they stopped the doctor, the child was protected by the bear, and both of them escaped beneath the light of the sun. The Spider pleaded with the world. 'I have served you all my life! Please! Just one more chance!' It was as he burned that the spider realized. In the eyes of the World, no matter how big he grew, he would always be nothing more than a bug."
