Mr V (V dawg) and the spider

Yesterday my vegetarian teacher ate a live spider. Yes you read correctly, a LIVE spider! Now I am going to write a story about this and blow out of proportion while still sticking to what actually happened.

Once upon a time there was a spider. He was a daddy long legs spider, and he happened to be named Byll. One day, Byll decided to visit a human class room as part of his big OE. Little did he know, some humans were terribly afraid of spiders, and in this case it would mean Byll's death.

So there Byll was, trotting around inside a HUMAN classroom. Byll was so amazed! He had never seen a bunch of uglier looking humans in his life! Byll decided to get a closer look at some of the people, but all of a sudden there was a tremendous shriek of terror! Byll span around to see a towering female figure standing over him. He turned around and started running as fast as his long legs would carry him. He had only just made it a few centimetres when a large hand flopped down beside him. It kept on cornering him, and he had no choice but to climb on to the hand. But instead of making it onto the hand, he was suddenly lifted into the air by one of his legs! Byll was terrified. He had never encountered anything like this in his 3 days of life. He passed from one hand to the next. This next hand was larger, and had a different texture to the last hand.

Byll was lifted even higher! Now he was dangling in front of the tall creatures mouth. Byll's 3 day life flashed before his eyes. He was moving ever closer to the mouth, and before long he was standing on the human's tongue. He looked up. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. Byll knew death was coming as he saw the large, white molars moving rapidly towards him. As the teeth squished into him, he thought of his wife and his 27 children. His last thoughts were wondering if his family would survive without him.

The life of Byll was over. It is amazing how a simple Overseas Experience trip can cost you your life. Think of all the tourists in the Bali bombings or the Boxing Day tsunami. Think about animal rights and the unfair treatment of spiders. A life is a life, no matter how small.

The End
