Spider And Bird

There is a spider building his spider web on a tree. The spider works very hard and after a few days of working, finally his 5-inch diameter of spider web is ready. He is happy, and waiting for his prey.

There is a bird who is also building his nest with dried grass and branches on the tree, above the spider web. Sometimes, the bird drops a few pieces of grass and branches down from his nest, breaking the spider web. But the bird never apologies to the spider. To him, the spider is just a small creature which doesn't need to entertain.

The spider is angry, but he doesn't really want to challenge the bird yet, as the bird is much bigger than him.

One day, the bird is hungry after finish building his nest. He sees there are a few flies and mosquitoes get stuck on the spider web. He just goes and eats up all the flies and mosquitoes, which suppose to be spider's food.

"Hey, that is my food," shouts the spider to the bird.

"You better shut up, or else I'll eat you too," says the bird to spider before he flies away.

Spider is really angry now. He decides to do something. "Else, I'll be forever bullied by the bird."

That night, the spider waits until the bird falls asleep in his nest. Then he crawls to the bird's beak and starts to tie up the beak with his spider silk. The spider goes round and round the beak, using up all the silk that he has. Exhausted, but satisfied with what he has done, spider then goes home.

The next day when the bird wakes up, he is shocked that he can't open his mouth. He tries and tries but the spider's silk is just too strong. He can't eat any food, and can't drink any water. After few days, the bird dies in his nest and becomes spider's food.
