I perceived a large spider in one corner of my room, making its web, and, though the maid frequently levelled her fatal broom against its labors. I had the good fortune to save it from destruction, and it more than paid me by the entertainment it gave.
    With incredible diligence, in two days the web was completed and the insect seemed to exhaust, in its new abode. it frequently traversed it round, examined the strength of every part of it, retired into its hole, and came out. The first enemy, however, it had to encounter, was another and a much larger spider, which , having no web of its own, and having probably exhausted all its stock in former labors of this kind, came to invade the property of its neighbor. Soon afterwards a terrible encounter ensued in which the invader seemed to have the victory, and the laborious spider was obliged to take refuge in its hole. Upon this I next perceived the victor using every art to draw the enemy from his strong-hold. He seemed to go off, but quickly returned, and when he found all arts vain, began to demolish the new web without mercy. This brought on another battle, and, contrary to my expectations, the labarious spider became the conqueror.
   Now then, in peaceable possession of what was justly its own, it waited three days with the utmost impatience, repairing the breaches of its web, and taking no sustenance that I could perceive. At last, however, a large blue fly fell into the snare and struggled hard to get loose. The spider gave it leave to entangle itself as much as possible, but it seemed to be too strong for the cobweb. I must own I was greatly surprised when I saw the spider immediately sally out, and in less than a minute weave a new not round its captive, by which the motion of its wings was soon stopped and when it was fairly hampered in this manner, it was seized, and dragged into the hole. In this manner it lived, in a precarious state, and nature seemed to have fitted it for such a life, upon a single fly it subsisted for more than a week.(This is a story I had read and I think it is good  for typing practice ).
