Went out to
dinner with my Grandma for her birthday. It was a wondertastic time.
Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The
Itsy-Bitsy Spider's Dilemma
The itsy-bitsy
spider was a tale as old as lullaby time. However an itsy-bitsy
spider by the name of Ronald Webspinner did exist and he did face
that dilemma. He did want to climb up a water spout for a better
place to make his web but whenever he felt he had a chance the rain
came and washed him straight out. Then he was forced to replace the
web he already had in the subpar location at the bottom of the water
spout. He needed to get through the spout. But how.
Eventually a
miracle happened. The humans in the house brought home a strange box.
And if he looked right, even from the ground Ronald could get a look
at what was on the box. It showed images. It changed colors like a
chameleon! And it gave messages to those that looked at it. But the
itsy-bitsy spider only cared about one message that he eventually
figured out the special box foretold. Every morning the humans woke
the box up and it would tell what the weather would be. Not always
accurate, but close enough that now Ronald Webspinner could now make
his trip up the water spout less of a gamble and more of just a trip
with a light chance of rain.
And fortune was
in Mr. Webspinner's favor. The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the water
spout, and the rain didn't come and wash him out.
