Spider T rap
By: W yatt
Fact: There is no better way to catch a fly than using a spider's
strategy.
Buzzzzzzzzzzz…….. As the 2 oz. fly flew into the 17 inch web,
Wibs thought of how many flies he will catch tomorrow, even
though was 9:00 in the morning. As Wibs started eating his first
catch of the day, he heard another buzzzzzzzzz……… Wibs wondered
how the outside world was away from the web.
Buzzzzzzzzzz………….. Another fly got caught. When Wibs was
finished with all three 2 oz. flies, he decided take a walk to Nofcine’s
web.
“ H i Wibs! H ow ya doin?” Noticine asked in a f riendly voice.
“Great! I just finished eating my third catch of the day. I
thought I w ould s ee h ow you are d oing.”
“ I ’m doing good. I was just r unning f rom a blober.”
“Really?! W ell I’m g oing h ome t o take a nap. Bye!”
“Bye!”
When Wibs got home, he did as what he said he would do.
Take a nap. He dreamed about how extraordinary the world was
with all of its wonders. When the fuzzy, wondrous spider woke up,
his vision was blurry. He thought he saw another spider, but he
wasn’t s ure of i t.
“Hi there! The name’s Flybo! Just because my name starts with
fly y ou d on’t t hink I ’m a fly, right?”
“Ummm…. Y eah, I g uess. W hy are you here?”
“Great question!! I am here to tell you that I know where a
HUGE f ly jackpot is. Do y ou w ant t o k now?”
“Yeah, I guess.”
“That’s n ot the spirit!”
“Yes. I do w ant flies.”
“You c an d o b etter.”
“Really. T ell me T ell m e.”
“No. Say i t like you w ant i t.”
“Really? T ell me! T ell m e!”
“There w e go! Ok. NO b ringing friends.”
“Ok.”
“It i s i n that h uge structure.”
“Over there?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a b lober t hingy medgig!!!!”
“Do you w ant the f lies?”
“Yes.”
“Then go.” As the dumb fly named Flybo flew away, Wibs
decided t o go.
Wibs spun his icky, sticky web string and shot a long, narrow line
leading to the thingy medgig. He started to walk on the narrow
string above the g round t o a void any d anger.
Wibs forgot about his big fat, dimwitted, no good flying quins.
Quins were the most annoying predators of spiders. Wibs hears
Blobers call them birds, but Wibs calls them the spider name. He’s
also h eard blobers call each o ther humans, but that changes nothing.
As Wibs crawled across the string, he saw a blurry image of a
possible cricket. He just shot another web hitting the cricket and
swung it off the narrow web-string. Wibs was too distracted to hear
the quins swooping down in 1 groups of 3 at Wibs. Wibs took a
beak in the 7th leg and flipped upside-down. Wibs randomly shot 9
web-strings and hit all 3 birds. Wibs shot a victory shot and hit a
wheel o f some s ort.
Wibs climbed the web all the way to the structure. When in the
extremely LARGE door, he climbed behind a picture of a worm
saying,”Worm, Worm! Squiggle squiggle worm!” He saw no sign of
a fly.
“Here comes Peter Cottontail. Hopp’n down the bunny trail.
Hippety hoppety easter's on its way!” As the blober jumped up and
down, W ibs c rawled o ut o f the w ay s o h e d idn’t get stepped on.
That just made it worse. Wibs was dodging long, thick legs and
huge fingers until he heard “Attack!!!”Squash! The last thing Wibs
saw was a f ly.
A s Nofcine looked and looked for his friend, he saw a blober
picking up some s ort o f s quashed i nsect.
Nofcine was astonished when the news spread from the
blobers pet dog all the way to him that the squashed bug was Wibs.
By the time Nofcine found out who set Wibs up, he already was too
far away t o p ay the price.
As Flybo laughed hysterically in his new water bottle, he saw
some object flying toward him. And it looked like something was
riding it. Nofcine was screaming at this spider murderer while flying
on the back of a quin. The quin angrily opened its wide beak and
Chomp! Flybo’s last words were “Nooooooo!!!I didn't mean to kill
him!!” Nofcine wasn’t so sure about killing the dumb fly, but it was
worth i t.
When Nofcine got home, he put the extraordinary spider in a
wood box and shoved it across the web. Nofcine sighed in disbelief
that his best friend died. When the box fell to the ground, Nofcine
whispered l ightly, “ You were g reat, man j ust great.
