Why Spiders Hide in A Dark Corner

Once, insects lived in communities like people do. They

raised families and worked in farms to get food. In one community
of insects, there lived a spider.
Spider was very lazy. He wanted to eat and eat but did not
like to work in the community area. So, he pretended he was sick.
His neighbor took good care of him. But spider made him to appear
weak and lifeless that his neighbors buried him in a place near the
community garden. That night, Spider crawled out of his grave. He
went to the garden and ate all the juicy green leaves and ripe fruits.
Then, he crawled back to his grave and slept all day long.
The insects wondered who ate all the food in the garden.
They made plan to catch the thief. They gathered soft wax and
 molded a doll as big as a person. They placed the doll upright in the
farm.
That night, spider crawled out of his grave again. He saw a
person in the garden. The person seemed to be gathering some ripe
tomatoes. “Hey! What are doing here? You thief, get out of here!”
The person did not move. The spider came near and punched and
kicked the person. And when he did that, his hands and feet were
stuck in the wax. He was trapped. Spider yelled and cried for help.
All the insects heard the cry. They went out of their huts and
ran to the garden. Soon, everyone was laughing at spider. “So he
was the thief!” said the grasshopper. “But we thought he was sick!”
exclaimed the worm. Spider was so ashamed. When he freed
himself, he ran to a dark corner. And there he hid to this day.
