Let's do this! Thank you so much for tuning into today's story. Don't forget to rate and follow, so you never miss out on all the Ryers' readers' fun. Before we get into the story, do you want to know a fun fact? Did you know, spider webs are made from silk that spiders produce themselves,

and this silk is amazingly strong. Spider silk is often compared to steel. Some types of spider silk are stronger than steel of the same width. I mean, that's pretty crazy, huh? Okay, story time. Today, we are going to read The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carl. Finally one morning, the wind blew a spider across the field. A thin, silky thread trailed from her body.

The spider landed on a fence post near a farmyard and began to spin a web with her silky thread. Nay, nay, said the horse. Want to go for a ride? The spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web. Said the cow, Want to eat some grass?

The spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web. Baha, bah, bleated the sheep. Want to run in the meadow? The spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web, said the goat. Want to jump on rocks? The spider didn't answer.

She was very busy spinning her web. Oink, oink, grunted the pig. Want to roll in the mud? The spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web. Woof-woof! barked the dog. Want to chase a cat? The spider didn't answer.

She was very busy spinning her web, cried the cat. Want to take a nap? The spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web. her web. Quack, quack, called the duck. Want to go for a swim? The spider didn't answer. She had now finished her web. Crowed the rooster. Want to catch a pesky fly? The spider caught the fly in her web, just like that! asked the owl, who built this beautiful web? The spider didn't answer. She had fallen asleep.
