   Many insects think Miss spider is dangerous to them and they don't want to approach her. As a result, no one stays with her when Miss spider wants someone to stay with her. However, a moth got wet wings and had to stay with Miss spider. It found Miss spider is nice after getting along with her. Miss spider is kind to others.
6.Theme
   It's one kind of stereotype. Spiders are regarded as dangerous creatures, but there are some nice spiders. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Reflection
I think the story wants to tell us that don't judge people by their appearance. Usually, we don't approach the spider because it is dangerous. In the story, the spider is nice and kind! She treats others well and she doesn't want to hurt others. She just needs someone to stay with her and take tea time with her. Just like some people, their appearance are not so kind, but we can find their advantages after we get along with them. We should not decide whether we make friends with others for their appearance. We have to get along with them first and then decide whether we want to make friends with them or not.
