Story from North America

Here's a story from North America

Daddy, daddy, daddy, hurry!
I saw something scurry
Son, what's all this screaming for?
You're gonna wake the neighbors next door

Daddy, I think there's a spider on my floor
Is it? And will you squish it?
You call me in here in the middle of the night
To come into your room and destroy life
Is that what the teach you in Sunday school?
But daddy, it's gross, its got a million legs
A billion eyes, a trillion eggs!
Son, it's not disgusting, it's just reality
Take a deep breath and appreciate life

Look how delicate his legs are
Crawling across your bedroom floor
Do you know the proper name?
Arachnid!
That's right
We're living in a world that's full of creatures
Big and small, hairy and slimy
You're not the center of the world
How would you feel if a giant hand
Came out of the sky and decided to crush you?

I guess I'd be scared, but daddy
What if the spider hurt me?

He didn't hurt you yet, did he, son?
Your logic is flawed, you've come undone
Swallow your pride
What if the spider said the same thing?
Daddy, daddy kill that kid

That's the point, dad, what if he did?
That's why I have to strike first!
What if he did?
What if he didn't?
What if the world was made of pudding?

All I'm saying is consider something
Besides your thirst for blood

Dad, you're right, now I see
Maybe he's got a family!
Now you're learning, understanding
Finally you're becoming human!

Let's return him to his natural habitat
Put him in a cup and take him outside
Godspeed!
