1. At sunrise, a young garden spider rested beneath a leaf and studied the bright garden.
2. She wanted a shiny web, so she pulled strong silk from her small body.
3. A gentle breeze bent the first silk line, but she held it beside a sturdy stem.
4. She joined strong lines across the stems, making a round web with shining spaces.
5. In warm afternoon light, a tiny gnat rested on sticky silk, and she found food.
6. After her small meal, she tucked herself beside the web in golden grass.
7. When cool rain sprinkled the garden, she rested safely beneath her strong, shining web.
8. A spider makes a web from strong silk to catch small insects and sometimes to make a safe place to rest.
