The Paralyzed Spider

 As I mentioned before I've seen a lot of spiders in the tree, but this time it was different. While my brother and I were looking around the tree, we found many spiders hidden under the wood of the tree. There were so many spiders but one caught our attention because when we were approaching it seemed that the spider was paralyzing, it stopped moving while the others were running trying to get away from us.

I don't know what the spider was thinking of by the time that it didn't do anything to escape like the other ones. I wonder what goes on in a spider's mind? I think that spiders are wonderful! They have some many things that I like and are interesting like they can survive anywhere in the world even space. Some people love them and some people hate them maybe because of how they look I feel like I'm in between because they're not adorable at all but have so many interesting things .

My brother and I were happy that we were able to take this picture, but we also noticed something red at the bottom of this picture but we weren't able to see it at that moment maybe because we were to busy looking at the spider, we're not sure if it was a bug or something else. It's fascinating that a simple spider had distracted us, during that time we could've seen more things.

The spider seemed like it didn't do anything it looked paralyzed and as we paid more attention to her we were also becoming paralyzed to the moment where we missed other things going on around the tree. It is fun that animals and humans have a lot alike. My brother and I say that the spider was paralyzed but the spider might be saying the same about us. We don't know how this world works and what goes on into animals or even persons mind, maybe if we were to take a moment to look closer at things that seem to be "paralyzed" we could discover a lot of new things. By being paralyzed we think that nothing happens because the definition of paralyzed is being incapable of doing something, but the spider transmitted us something as if she wasn't scared of us or telling us to get away from her and her family. Hearing, looking, touching, smelling, and tasting could make a big difference.
