The Clever Spider and the Greedy Flies
Once upon a time, in a forest far away, lived a clever
spider who was famous for her wits and wisdom. One day, as she was spinning her
web, she saw a group of flies buzzing around a ripe fruit. The spider knew that
they were greedy and would not stop until they had eaten all the fruit. So, she
decided to teach them a lesson.
The spider approached the flies and said, “Why don’t you
share the fruit with me? I can’t eat it all by myself.” The flies were
surprised by the spider’s generosity and agreed to share the fruit with her.
However, as soon as they landed on the fruit, the spider trapped them in her
web.
The flies were angry and accused the spider of tricking
them. But the spider calmly replied, “You were too greedy to share the fruit,
so I had to teach you a lesson. Now, you will have to stay here until I decide
to let you go.”
The flies realized their mistake and begged the spider
for forgiveness. They promised never to be greedy again, and the spider
released them from her web.
From that day on, the flies became good friends with the
spider, and they often shared their food with her. And the spider, in turn,
taught them valuable lessons about sharing and cooperation.
