Like the one that we did in Literacy today.

Early yesterday afternoon Miss Margeret Tuffet was almost assaulted by a deadly spider and left in a state of shock.


At approximately 1.30 yesterday afternoon Miss Tuffet, 8, was sitting down in her back garden in Acocks Green, to her regular afternoon snack of curds and whey. Reports suggest that out of a nearby tree a large black spider, going by the name of ‘Fluffy’, approached without warning. Upon seeing the arachnid Miss Tuffet, also known as Maggie, became extremely frightened and flustered.

“It was such a shock seeing a horrible, ugly, black spider smiling at me like that. When he walked towards me and sat down I just freaked out and ran away!”

Miss Tuffet was being comforted by friends last night while the location of the spider is unknown.
