It’s not what really happened!

I am the spider in the nursery rhyme
‘Little Miss Muffet’. I want to tell you what
really happened that day. As you know,
this is how the rhyme goes:
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
And sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away!
Most people believe I was mean. They
think I was hiding in my web in the bushes
waiting for someone or some creature to
come along and to scare them. But I wasn’t
planning to scare anyone or anything.

Miss Muffet on tuffet with
spider next to her and knocking bowl of
curds and whey off in fright
That morning, I was in my web looking
out at the meadow. I saw Little Miss Muffet
walking along carrying a bowl of food. She sat down on a tuffet below
me and began to eat her curds and whey.

I felt lonely and thought she would be nice to talk to. I gently lowered
myself down by a silk thread and politely said ‘Hello’ to her. She turned
around, took one look at me and screamed! Then she jumped up,
spilt her curds and whey everywhere and ran away!

Some people also say I scared her so I could eat her curds and whey.
When her bowl tipped up, some curds and whey landed on me. I had
to scrape them all off. I wasn’t eating them. I don’t like curds and whey.
I prefer juicy insects that land on my web.
I hope Miss Muffet understands what really happened that day and
that I didn’t mean to scare her. Perhaps she might even visit me!
