 
Once upon a time there lived a lonely spider. She lived in a dark corner of a small room and spun her cobwebs there every day. But no one ever visited her. Even the bugs and other spiders she spun webs to catch would hurry away as soon as they saw her. She was very lonely.
One night she heard a whisper. It was coming from the corner of the room. She quickly spun a web over that corner, trapping whatever was there.
The next morning she found a tiny mouse inside the web. She was so excited to have a friend that she couldn't help but whisper a thank you.
The mouse was so happy to have found a friend, too. Every day the spider and mouse would chat together and play games together. The spider no longer felt lonely.
The mouse soon showed its other friends the cobweb and they all came to play with the spider. Now the spider had lots of friends and was never lonely again.
