1. At sunrise, a small garden spider sat at the center of her web. She was waiting for breakfast when one silk thread gave a tiny tremble.
2. The spider raised one leg and waited. The breeze was brushing the web, but its shiver was long and gentle.
3. Then a yellow-green leaf landed on the outer web. Its weight made a short, heavy wobble.
4. The spider felt the wobble through her legs. She knew the leaf was not breakfast, so she left it alone.
5. All day, the spider kept her feet on the silk. Her legs were listening while her eyes watched the garden.
6. Near afternoon, a small moth touched the sticky silk and became gently caught. The web gave a quick, uneven shiver.
7. The spider touched the trembling strand with one front leg. This touch was different from the breeze and different from the leaf.
8. The spider felt tiny vibrations through her silk threads. She could tell the difference between wind, a leaf, and trapped prey.
