PRESENTATION

Silly Fly was hovering over the flowers when she saw a spider web. She came nearer when she heard a voice.

“Will you come in?” invited Witty Spider.

“No, I will not,” replied the Silly Fly as she flew away.

Next days Silly Fly came back. She took a peep at the house of Witty Spider. The spider saw her and smiled to himself. He tried his best to entice Silly Fly.

Witty Spider and Silly Fly

“So you’re back,” said Witty Spider. “Have you decided to come into my house?”

“No, I have not,” replied Silly Fly.“Oh, please do come in,”

requested Witty Spider. “I have a lot of food in here,” he continued. “And besides, I have a big mirror where you can look at your beautiful self. You are a lovely sight,” said Witty Spider. But deep inside her, Silly Fly believed that she was indeed, lonely.

After more prodding from Witty Spider, Silly Fly finally crept into the web. It was too late to find out that she had trapped herself in the very sticky web and could not get out of it anymore.
