Lesson Twenty

The Spider Opens a Store

1.There was a spider squatting on his web every day, waiting for bugs to fall onto it. He felt so lonely and bored.

2.One day, he decided to open a store.

3.What should he sell?

4.He decided to sell face masks since they were easy to knit.

5.So, the spider hung a sign outside a cabin which read: “ Face masks for sale, only one yuan.”

6.A customer came; it was a hippo.

7.The hippo had a long mouth, so it was difficult to knit a face mask for him. The spider spent the whole day working and finally finished the mask.

8.That night, the spider thought: “Perhaps I should sell scarves, because they are easy to knit.”

9.The next day, the spider's sign was changed to “scarves for sale, only one yuan.”

10.A customer came, but the spider could not see his head.

11.The spider looked up. It turned out to be a giraffe. His neck was as tall as a tree. His head popped out from among the leaves, and he smiled at the spider.

12. The spider spent a whole week knitting the long, long scarf.

13.The spider was so tired that he fell to the ground and thought: “Perhaps I should sell socks, because they are easy to knit”

14. The next day, the spider's sign was changed again. This time it read: “Socks for sale, only one yuan.”

15. However, when the spider saw a customer, he hurried back to his web in fright.

16. It turned out that the customer was a centipede with forty-two feet!
