Aren't spiders really just sheep in wolves' clothing?

One day there was a bumbling little bumblebee that flew fleetingly from flower to flower filling up his pollen sacks. He was in a hurry due to his overwhelming prowess in the powers of procrastination. Who knew that today would be his biggest test? As our little "hero" flew happily but hurriedly about, he abruptly came to a halt. This sudden stop was not an action performed by the bumblebee, but rather was due to his unwittingly flying into the tenacious and terrific web of the local "antagonist". The bumblebee had heard of such things before, but had never dreamt in his worst nightmare that he'd end up face-to-face with such a terrible foe. As the bumblebee struggled against the nearly-invisible but extremely strong netting, he was aware of a presence perceiving his every move. Without wanting to appear panic-stricken, our "protaganist" calmly turned himself around to face this most terrible of villians. As he turned himself, he found that he had freed most of his body from the webbing and that the only thing stuck at this point was one of his tiny feet. While the evil-spider approached, our hero thought to himself that with one mighty jump, he could fly above the villian. However, knowing that spiders possess an uncanny ability to jump, the bumblebee bided his time and devised a most devious plan of his own. He began to whimper and whine as he lay shaking and convulsing on the webbing. The spiders eyes lit up at this, for clearly the little bumblebee had broken his wing and could no longer fly away. She approached now with less caution and seemed overly joyed that this little bee could pose no real threat to the spider. For you see, our villian was really no villian at all, but merely a garden spider that was feeding itself to remain strong for the birth of her children. She knew that bumblebees posed a very serious threat to her, and always approached them with great caution. In fact, she usually let them struggle against their bonds until they were so tired that they could no longer lift their heads, much less thrash against the clutches of death. However, this one seemed different, he clearly was injured, and she was so hungry and needed the nourishment to sustain herself. As she walked up to the bee and was about to give her bite of doom, our little bumblebee "hero" jumped up and stung the unsuspecting spider in the face. This ultimately killed both of our characters and left the baby spiders without a momma to fend for them.

The moral of our story is that bees suck.

Bees are the equivalent to the anti-Christ in the animal kingdom.
