The story up to now:
Daisy, Cuddle's sister, has been kidnapped by a big black crow.
While searching for her, Cuddles met Zipper the fly who has joined
Cuddles to find Daisy.
Cuddles and Zipper became close friends.
On their way looking for Daisy, Zipper
got caught in a spider web. He tried everything to get out, but he
could not get out of the web. He was very scared.
Cuddles tried everything he knew, but he could not even free Zipper
from the spider web. Cuddles, thinking very fast, climbed above his
friend onto a ledge to knock rocks off into the web to free Zipper.
But Cuddles got close to the edge and fell off. He fell right through
the web, breaking Zipper free.
On the way down, Cuddles fell into
a glass jar. He tried to climb out of the jar, but could not because
the glass was so slippery. Zipper flew into the jar trying to pick
Cuddles up and carry him out, but he was too heavy for little Zipper.
With both of them inside the jar, they ran from one side to the next
trying to tilt the jar over. But sadly they failed at that attempt
to free Cuddles.
A light came on in Zipper’s head and
he immediately flew out of the jar. He picked up pieces of the spider
web and tied them to a leaf. He threw this over a branch. He then
gathered rocks and one by one dropped them in the leaf. This pulled
the jar over, and now Cuddles was free.
They could now go on to find
Daisy.
