Spider
Story |
ONCE
upon a time there
was a giant tree
in the center
of the town square;
This beautiful
gigiantic tree
bears with pans
of delicious well
cooked rice ,
all one has to
do is get under
the tree bright
and early n the
morning and request
one of the rice
pan to come from
the tree and fall
on your back.
The law was don't
scream ;if you
do ; the bowl
will go back in
the tree.
THERE
were variaties
of sizes of pans.
There were small
, medium, and
very big pans
of rice. As day
began to dawn,
early one day,
Spider could not
wait, he was out
of bed early,
counting down
the minutes, when
he could go out
to accomplish
his wish.
At
the first light
of day MR SPIDER
was out the house,
down the road
and the very frist
creature to make
it under the tree
to request a bowl
of rice to come
down to him.
In
order to get the
bowl of rice he
would have to
cite the special
quotation which
goes like this:
"Big Bowl
of rice ascend
from the noble
tree and fall
on by back, if
I say enn or scream;
float back to
the top, if not,
stay here where
I will eat you
to my heart's
content.
It
was the normal
custom of the
People of the
town who utilize
the magical powers
of the tree, to
make their request
eat and go away.
MR voracious Spider
however, went
under the tree,
positioned himself
under the tree
and began with
his citation.
"Big Bowl
of rice ascend
from the noble
tree and fall
on by back, if
I say enn or scream;
float back to
the top, if not,
stay here where
I will eat you
to my heart's
content.
A
large rice bowl
fell from the
tree right on
spider's back.
The pain was so
intense, spider
minced een, the
bowl went back
. Spider braced
himself once more
and made his request.
Once more the
bowl fell straight
down center and
hit spider on
the back, again
he screamed and
again the bowl
went back up.
Spider continue
requesting the
big bowl until
dusk began to
settle. By night,
spider back was
sore, he couldn't
take the pain
anymore and give
up. Spider dragged
himself home,
got in bed and
went to sleep
as the hungry
looser.
Moral:
TOO much of everything
leads to nothing
at all
