Flies to meet Spider in his Parlor

"The flies don't like my beautiful web." said the Spider to his Chief Aide " I do not understand this, it is such a beautiful and attractive web. The location is ideal. We must attract those pesky flies"

"We shall send them invitations" The Chief Aide said, "This time we will offer to actually listen to their ideas and consider compromise"

Both laughed.

The gilded invitations were sent to the fly leaders, the chorus of flies laughed and sang "No way are we that stupid." None of the flies thought their leaders would agree to the meeting.

But they did.

The Spider was ecstatic.

Lunch was coming.
