The Yellow Spider always thought it was a tiny litttle, yellow spider living on a wall. It would watch other kids play. Watch them sing. Watch them laugh. Watch them cry. Watch the sun rays filter through its cobweb. Watch the dark nights from his bouncy bed beside the spider web. He always thought what could he do and be happy. The Yellow Spider met a group of other spiders who were red. They looked attractive. Even pretty. Even prettier than him. They offered him to walk along with their troop. He asked them where they were going. Red spider said, to the most beautiful planet on earth aye! Yellow spider's eyes twinkled. Can we do that? He asked...Can we leave where we are and move to another planet? ... yes, o yes said the red spider. With hopes and dreams and excitement the yellow spider joined the troop.
They started their journey. A thousand red spiders and one yellow spider.
As they took their first stop they ate food. The food was nothing like yellow spider ate before. They weaved their web for the night and went to bed. Yellow spider looked at the web patttern. It was oh so much more beautiful than what he had seen before. He didn't know you could weave a whole new pattern.
They walked and walked for the next few days. The yellow spider thought to himself "why are we walking and walking. Now i am tired. Now i wanna go home." The red spider asked, what happened buddy. Are you not enjoying the journey. The yellow spider said, i liked it but now i wanna go home. 'Why' asked the red spider.
I miss the air. The water. The sounds of children playing. And everything about my home. And i don't know why are we taking this journey. " we are going to find more beautiful places" where sand is orange, trees are yellow just like you and water is green. We are going to a place where everyone dreams to go. And look you are wanting to return home. Cmon, dont think that. Let's march forward.
The yellow spider thought to himself. Wouldnt it be nice to see orange sand and blue water and yellow trees? Oh yes. That would be the best thing. So he went to bed and woke up with a new hope. He marhed with the other spiders to the new land.
After a month they reached the new land. Just as promised, the sand was sunny orange, trees were beautifully yellow and water was deeper than deep blue. The spider felt wow! It danced and sang for a few days. And again that feeling of going back returned.
Then the red spider sat beside him and asked him, do you know what it means to be a red spider? You have a chance to be one.
Can we be that asked the yellow spider. Yes o yes said the red spider.
How? All you need to do is think and act like me. And soon your color will change.
Will you teach me how to think and act said the yellow spider? Yes i will. So for the next few days yellow spider trained to become red. And became red. Ah that was easy said he.
He now made new and more friends and got more gifts because other spiders started recognizing him.
I wanted it to come back thinking home is the best place on earth. And then see that its not the home. Its you. Its how you think and feel.
Any place is a heaven.
And you can be red, blue, green, orange or any other color you choose.
