The Flying Spider

One day, a black spider wove a very large web between two eaves in the backyard. Does a spider fly? How else could it stretch the first thread from one end of the yard to the other, about 10 feet apart?

I later discovered that the spider had made many turns along the way. From one edge of the eaves, it made its way downward step by step along the wall, with its butt lifted upward so that the thread could be kept away from the sand or other objects on the floor. It crawled across the space, and then made its way up towards the other edge of the eaves until it was at almost the same height. It would then tighten the thread. The same was repeated many, many times.

Moral of the Story

The spider does not fly, but it can span itw web across the air. It is a diligent, sensitive, taciturn yet sturdy insect, whose web is woven in a highly delicate and orderly manner. We must therefore bear in mind that the spider cannot fly, but can still span its web across the air. We must have a strong belief in success and never give up. This is because faith is a powerful force. If we believe that we will succeed, then we will.
