The Very Busy Spider

9 minutes

Early one morning, a little spider spins her web on a fence post. One by one, the animals of the nearby farm try to distract her, yet the busy little spider keeps diligently at her work. When she is done, she is able to show everyone that not only is her creation quite beautiful, it is also quite useful. This title is presented in American Sign Language by the Rocky Mountain Deaf School.
