The Spider and the Fly

Mr. Spider wanted to marry Miss Fly. Many times he told her of his love and
begged her to become his wife, but she always refused, for she did not like him.
One day when she saw Mr. Spider coming again, Miss Fly closed all the doors
and windows of her house and made ready a pot of boiling water. She waited,
and when Mr. Spider called, begging her to allow him to enter, she answered by
throwing boiling water at him. This made Mr. Spider very angry and he cried, “I
will never forgive you for this, but I and my descendants will always despise
you. We will never give you any peace.”
Mr. Spider kept his word, and even today one can see the hatred of the spider
for the fly.
