Iggy was a tiny spider. She loved to play hide-and-seek under the autumn leaves with her friends, Biggy, Miggy and Jiggy. One day, Iggy declared as usual, “Let us play hide-and-seek! I will count and all of you go and hide.” When Iggy finished counting, she started searching for Biggy, Miggy and Jiggy under the leaves. A golden leaf attracted her attention and she slowly looked under it, but no one was hiding there. Iggy was losing her patience, as it was getting dark. She got worried about her friends. She sat on an orange-coloured leaf and started crying aloud, “My friends are lost, God; please save them. Maybe a bird ate them. Oh no, please save them; please save them!” Iggy’s friends heard Iggy crying. They felt sorry about Iggy. They realised how much Iggy cared for them. They decided not to play this game any more. They all said, “Friends are more important than a silly game!”
