Blacky Longlegs Meets Freddy the Fly

Blacky is a spider who enjoyed catching bugs in his web for the people he lived with in a big old house out in the country. He watched the people try every day to get rid of all the bugs in the house but they couldn't. Blacky thought that if he helped them, then maybe they would start to like him, but instead, they tried to get rid of him also. Just in the nick of time, Blacky escaped from the house and the mean people and built a new home in a wagon wheel just outside on their property.

He noticed that there were so many different kinds of bugs out there and they all seemed to have friends to play with except for him.He thought that maybe they were all frightened of him because he would catch so many of their friends in his web to please the people in the house. Blacky wanted to change all that, but he didn't know where to start.

One day, he met a fly and everything changed. They became best friends and drew up a plan to get back at those people who drove Blacky out of his home and figured out a way to make lots of friends.
