The Cranky Spider

It was past nap time and Baby Spider was very cranky. Nothing would make
him happy. He didn't want a drink. He didn't want food. He needed a nap,
but he didn't want to sleep either.

Mommy and Daddy Spider didn't know what to do. They tried rocking him, he
just cried. They tried bouncing him, he just cried even louder. They tried
laying him in his web but that didn't help at all. He climbed right out of
his web and cried for somebugy to pick him up. Daddy Spider picked him up.
Baby Spider cried and reached for Mommy Spider. She took Baby Spider from
Daddy Spider but it didn't help. Baby Spider cried ever louder then before.
Then Mommy Spider saw what the problem was. When Baby Spider was crying
with his mouth wide open Mommy Spider could see that Baby Spider was
cutting a tooth. His gums were red and looked sore. Mommy Spider went and
got a frozen bug from the refrigerator and placed it into Baby Spider's
mouth. He stopped crying and reached up to see what it was. He pulled the
frozen bug out and looked at it for a second. Then he placed it back into
his mouth. The cold bug on his sore gums felt good. It numbed it enough
that he could finally take his overdue nap. When Baby Spider woke up from
his nap he was in a lot better mood. Mommy Spider looked into Baby Spider's
mouth and saw a new little bitty fang. Baby Spider had gotten his very
first tooth. Everybugy was very happy for Baby Spider. They were also happy
that he had stopped crying.
