Mother Spider was hanging from the lampshade. She let out a thread rapidly and came whizzing down to the floor. She did not look best pleased. Emily crossed two of her legs for luck.

Mother Spider walked all round her slowly. As she went, she counted out loud.

“So it’s true,” she said at last in a low voice. “It’s true what they’re saying. Never have I been so embarrassed.”

“I didn’t know, Mother,” said Emily. “Honest, I didn’t know I had ten.”

“Nor did I,” said Mother Spider. “But now that I do, I’ve only one thing to say to you.”

“What’s that?”

“Never darken my web again!” said Mother Spider, and she reeled in the thread and shot up into the lampshade without a backward look.

Emily sighed. Perhaps my father will be kinder, she thought. She had never met him, but she knew where he lived.
