Once there was a spider named Ziggy, who lived in his terrarium. He had a lovely home, warm and cozy and all the food he wanted. After a while he started feeling lonely. One morning he woke up feeling thirsty, got out of his coconot shell and went to the pool for a few drops of water. He was surprised to see that in the pool was this strange cute little green creature with sparkling eyes. But as soon as it has seen him it jumped out of the pool and just before it was preparing for it's next jump, Ziggy said: "stop... " The long green arched leggs of the creature relaxed, while his head turned to where he heard the voice, and as he was looking into the spider's black pearled eyes a cold tremble rushed into his body. "Don't be affraid", said Ziggy, "i won't hurt you..." The rest of the creature's body turned inexplicably towards the spider, as if it was hypnotised.
"I'm Ziggy the spider, what's your name?"
"My name is Frogstler Green, but you can call me Froggy"
As they continued talking the little frog wasn't feeling so scared anymore, the spider's fearsome appearance seemed to have faded away. Ziggy's soft and warm voice, gave Froggy a comfortable feeling. He no longer saw Ziggy as an enemy, but as a friend.
Although he looked calm, Ziggy could sense in Froggy's faltering voice a certain hesitation and asked him:
"Are you ok? you seem a bit troubled..."
"Aaa... yeah... i'm.... fine..."
While the spider got closer, throwing his huge hairy black legs one in front of each other, the frog took one step back, then another one, untill he realised he was pressing his back against the cold glass of the terrarium. The spider got so closer he could almost hear the frog's uncontrollable heart beats and said with a deep voice : "Are you sure ?" And then he smiled, showing his huge sharp fangs and took a step back... " You thought i was going to eat you? "
" Oh yess... ", said the frog with a relieved voice
Ziggy's loud laughter put Froggy's smile back on his face...
" Actually i'm a vegetarian..." , said Ziggy
" But what about the fangs ? "
" Oooh, those little fellas? they're for aa... tearing up the leaves from branches and ... other stuff like that..."
