After being rescued from toad, Thumbelina is back to her home. The farmer and wife are happy to have her back. Thumbelina also has more and more friends, namely butterfly, bee and dragonfly.
One day, while Thumbelina is playing with her friends, a spider comes to make friend with her.
"Can you be my friend," asks the spider sincerely.
"Yuk, don't be friend with this ugly dirty thing," shout Thumbelina's friends.
But Thmbelina sees the sincerity of the spider, so she agrees to be friend with him. She also invites him to play together with them.
While they are playing in the garden, the toad suddenly jumps out from nearby river again and wants to catch Thumbelina back to the river, so that he can get marry with her. All the friends are shocked, scared and runaway, except the spider.
"Little spider, do you believe I can eat you in a second? Run as you still can!" shouts the toad to the spider.
Eventhough the spider is scared, he doesn't run away. He wants to help Thumbelina as much as he can. A friend in need is a friend indeed, that is what he thinks. Without wasting time, the spider produces a lot of silk and goes round the toad's mouth and legs. The silk is so strong that the toad can't open his mouth to eat the spider, and he can't move his legs as well.
"Let's go now," shouts the spider to Thumbelina.
Thumbelina quickly climbs to spider's back before he swings away.
"Luckily I have you as my friend," thanks Thumbelina to the spider.
