Little Ant and the Spider

Little Ant finds himself in a sticky situation when he lets a group of older ants pressure him into visiting the spider. They claim the spider is wise, but will talking to her help Little Ant figure out who his real friends are?

This story is a reimagining of Aesop's classic fable, "The Bear and the Two Travelers," and teaches that misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.
