Once upon a time, in a magical garden, all the insects were having a big picnic. The butterfly was showing off her beautiful wings, the caterpillar was munching on leaves and the mosquito was drinking sweet nectar. Suddenly, a dragonfly zoomed by and announced that a fierce spider was coming to ruin their picnic! The bee bravely suggested they work together to stop the spider. The ant rallied the troops, the snail offered to be the lookout, and the ladybug said she'd bring her lucky spots for good luck.

So, the group worked together to create a web of friendship around the picnic area. When the spider arrived, she was so surprised to see the strong web that she couldn't get through. She asked the insects what was going on and they explained that they didn't want her to ruin their picnic. The spider apologized and asked if she could join in. They welcomed her with open arms and all enjoyed the picnic together, with the dragonfly acting as DJ. And from that day on, the spider and all the other insects became fast friends and had picnics every day, always working together to make sure everyone had fun. The end.

2. What did the snail do to help the insects during the picnic?
3. Why did the spider want to ruin the picnic?
4. How did the insects make sure the spider couldn't ruin the picnic?
5. Who became friends with the spider at the end of the story?
