Chapter 23 The Spider and the Fly

There was once a group of flies flying around near a spider’s web.“Come closer,” said the spider to one of the flies as he flew around the web.The fly said, “I will not be trapped by you,” and he flew away.
So the spider tried to catch another fly saying, “Come closer, and we can be friends.” But the other fly said that he’d never trust a black widow and flew away.
One of the flies heard the other fly call the spider a widow, and knowing the Bible, she wanted to follow her religion in a pure, undefiled way. So she said to herself, “I will help this widow in need”.
The little fly flew closer to the web, and the spider threw its web and caught her. The spider was ready to eat her, but before she did, she wanted to know why the fly had come so close to the web. The fly told her, “You are a widow in need, so I did what was needed. I will pray for your soul so that you can find a good husband and be a widow no more.”At that moment, another spider got too close to the black widow’s web, and she caught him. The widow now had a husband. Seeing that her prayer for the widow had been answered, the little fly rejoiced. The widow was filled with compassion for the fly and she released her unharmed. The fly knew that it always pays to do what is right, even if it threatens your life.
