The Adventure of Charlotte and Spot Charlotte is a tarantula, she is as black as the midnight sky. She has the ability to spin the most beautiful clothes out of her web. The colors are so amazing and unique that nobody can figure out just how she does it. Spot is a lizard, he is as spotty as a leopard. Spot has the ability to make the most comfortable and unique shoes out of leaves and twine. No one can figure out what his secret his secret either. Now, the King of Tetarch, Tetarch is a very small country, it is so small u couldn’t even find it on a map. heard of these two amazing creatures and he wanted them to make him a new wardrobe for the winter festival. So the King called upon Charlotte and Spot. Immediately they started their really long journey. On their journey they were noticed by a farm lady, while she was picking vegetables from her garden. The farm lady asked “ so, where are you two headed?” Charlotte replied,” to Tetarch, to make new clothes for the king.” “ How are you going to do that?” the farm lady asked laughing. “ Well, Charlotte can spin the most beautiful clothes out of her web and I can make the most comfortable shoes out of leaves and twine,” Spot replied. “ You both could use a rest, please come inside and rest here for the night,” said the farm lady. The next morning Charlotte and Spot were on their way to Tetarch. A few weeks went by and Charlotte and Spot finally arrived in Tetarch. When they reached the Castle, the guard answered the door. “ May I help you?” the guard asked. Charlotte said “ yes, the King is expecting us. We’re here to make new clothes for the King.” The guard replied “ I doubt that, you’re just a spider and a lizard. I know nothing of this, good day.” Charlotte and Spot looked at each other wondering what they were going to do. Spot said “ I have an idea, we will climb the walls and sneak in.” Charlotte agreed. When they finally got inside they searched everywhere for the King. When they finally found him, the King asked “ What has taken you so long?” Spot told the King the whole story and he began to laugh. The King said “I am truly sorry, I musts have forgotten to inform my guards.” The next morning Charlotte and Spot began working on the Kings clothes. About a few weeks went by, Charlotte and Spot had finished the Kings wardrobe. The King came in to try on his new clothes to be sure they fit properly. The King asked Charlotte how she created the beautiful colors in the clothes?” Charlotte wouldn’t reveal her secret. When the King bent over to try on his shoes, all you heard was a big RRIIIIIIPPPPPPP!!!! Charlotte and Spot thought the King would be furious. Instead the King began to laugh and so did they. Charlotte and Spot fixed the Kings clothes. A week later the King was ready for the Winter Festival. Everyone was wondering where he got his amazing clothes. The King wouldn’t tell his own secret. Everyone admired the King all night long. He was so pleased he asked Charlotte and Spot to join him at the Festival. The King also invited them to come and live with him in the Castle only if they wanted. Charlotte and Spot felt very honored to accept the Kings invitation.  **Starting - March 29 (2009): ** 1.
