The Spider Circus

Wrapped everything up and took their bush trampolenes home with them. The finch children were disappointed that the season of the circus was so short for them. Momma, I wish that the spiders would leave the trampolenes up all year long, they said. Momma and poppa explained to them that the rain and the other elements would not allow the webs to stay taut enough to jump on and that once the spiders had their savings banks full, they could take down the circus and rest for the rest of the year. Except for an occasional fresh fly or two when they got sick of the frozen food. The seasonal changes are always good for great instruction to the babies on some natural subject or another. Papa finch took the opportunity to teach a very long lesson on the saving and conservation principles. I don't have room to put all that he said.
