The Spiders New Web

A spider is spinning a web on a tree. When the web is ready, she waits for
her prey.
A little dragonfly is resting on a nearby leaf . He is not looking for bugs.
He is just watching the spider.
The dragonfly thinks, It looks as if the spider is taking a rest now.
Soon, a housefly bumps into the web. The spider hurries over and
swallows it up.
The little dragonfly says to the spider, My dear Spider, you are so lucky.
You only spin a web and are sure of getting food for the rest of your life!
The spider smiles and says, Little dragonfly, I also have to work hard
everyday to get food.
Would you please tell me how to spin a web? The little dragonfly asks.
The spider answers, You can come here tonight and see how I work.
The little dragonfly agrees to do so.
Night falls and in the moonlight, the spider eats up her web one thread
after another. She leaves only some thicker ones that frame the web.
Then, she starts to spit new silk.
The spider stands on the thicker thread and spins a new web with the
new silk. She works hard until day break before the new web is ready.
The little dragonfly asks, My dear Spider, why did you destroy the old
web and spin the new one?
The old one is not sticky enough to catch the bugs, says the spider.
You mean, you have to spin a new web everyday? the little dragonfly
asks.
Of course, the spider says. Im not as lazy as you think.
At last, the little dragonfly understands how the spider works. He says,
Those who are lazy will starve, am I right?
The spider smiles and says, Of course, you are. No pain, no gain.
The little dragonfly is feeling very hungry. He quickly flaps his wings and
goes looking for bugs.

Science facts
All spiders spin very strong new web everyday. The spider usually spins its
web at night, relying almost entirely on its sense of touch. The spider
does not get caught on its on web because it runs along its web on dry
silk threads, avoiding the sticky part. And also a spiders feet are oily,
preventing it from sticking to the web.
