Once upon a time a wonderful fae was told a story. She requested that the story teller e-mail her with it in writing.

Little Miss Spider
by David Kirk
Little Miss Spider popped out of her egg.
Swinging down from a thread,
she held on with one leg.
Watching brothers and sisters scooting for cover,
she dangled there wondering,
"Where is my mother?
Did she squeeze down a hole or dive underwater?
Why won't she come out here and meet her new daughter?"
She climbed to the tippy top of a tree.
Gazing out on the world, she sobbed,
"Where could mom be?"
A beetle named Betty buzzed by this high perch.
"A child needs a mother.
May I please help you search?"
"I don't know for sure, but I'll offer this clue:
if I were your mom, I'd be looking for you."
They flew through the trees,
spying down from the sky,
and asked all the butterflies fluttering by.
But none of the insects they happened upon
had any idea where her mother had gone.
She then asked a small spider,
as plump as a pig!
"Have you seen my mom?
She's like me, only big."
The sly spider laughed as he gobbled his snack.
"Up there is a mother who's yellow and black."
With a heart full of joy she peered over the straw,
but it wasn't her mother that miss spider saw...
It was six hungry hatchlings and a golfinch who cryed,
"Your dinner's here darlings, so open up wide!"
Before she could blink, she was whisked out of sight,
And brave beetle Betty was hugging her tight.
In her warm, cozy home in the bark of a tree.
The kind beetle asked,
"Won't you stay here with me?"
Miss Spider smiled and held Betty fast.
"I looked for my mom, and I found you at last."
For finding your mother, there's one certain test.
You must look for the creature who loves you the best.
Miss you dearest!

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, and screaming "WOO-HOO What a ride!"
