that got tired of liveing with all of his many 

brothers and sisters so he decided that he 

would go off on his own. He saw this nice 

big comfortable looking house and decided 

that if he got in there he would be safe. 

There was a little crack in the window and 

he crawled in. But when he got in there was 

a big black mean looking spider. "Who are 

you the mean spider asked. My name is 

Icabod and I was looking for a place to live. 

he said in a meek little voice. who are you? 

I am Tanger the terrible and this is all my 

house. Well it looks like there is plenty of 

room for more than one spider and I need a 

home. Well if you promise to not bother me 

and stay away from my food you can stay 

but there better not be any trouble or I 

could get you. Have no fear I will not 

bother you.

     There was a young spider named Icabod who 

was very tired living with all of his brothers and 

sisters so he took off on his own. He was looking for 

a place to live when he saw this big house and it 

looked like it was a comfortable place and he saw a 

little crack in the window and he crawled in. But 

when he got in he saw this huge big black spider. 

WHO are you the 

 spider asked in al loud voice. I am Icabod and I am 

looking for a different place to live. He said in a 

meek little voice. Who are you?" "I am Tanger the 

terrible and this is my house. But there would be 

plenty of room for me Icabod managed to say. I 

have run away and I need a place to stay. I 

wouldn't bother you I promise." Well if you stay out 

of my way and do not bother my food I guess you 

can stay but you better not give me any trouble.Do 

you understand?" O yes replied Icabod I will never 

give you any trouble.

"Well it looks like a pretty large house." Icabod 

replied. I wouldn't take up much space and I 

wouldn't bother you. "Well lf you mind your 

own business and don't bother me." Tanger 

replied. "Oh I promise I won't. Icabod 

promised. All right then. You can have this 

room and I will have the other one." Tanger 

said yawning and do not bother my food. 

Icabod decided that he would rather go find 

another room. He did not want to make this 

fellow angry. He was bigger and meaner 

looking.

         There was a bed and a nice warm fire 

          place but Icabod decided he would 

          rather find another room. This one 

          was too warm. so he went looking.

When Icabod got into the house he was surprised 

to find another spider. He was a little afraid of this 

one. It was big and black with white eyes that 

looked like it was looking daggers at him. "WHO 

ARE YOU?" The big black spider spoke in a low 

growl. Icabod was afraid and spoke in a timid 

voice. "I am Icabod. he said in a timid voice. Who 

are you? I am tanger the terrible and this is where 

I live. I do not want to share this house with you." 

Then he found just what he was looking for.

 The kitchen. And there was something that 

made his mouth water. He snuck up 

behind and went chomp. Got it. Then he

saw another one on the refrigerator and

 he got it too. He was feeling good until He 

came down the refrigerator and then he 

saw it. A dog and he was looking for him. 

Icabod made a fast run up the refrigerator 

and hid up on top of it.

He was looking for Icabod. What will I do he 

wondered?

I know I will clime up to the top of the refrigerator 

and wait until he goes to sleep and then I will sneak 

out of here. Icaabod waited and waited and finelly 

the puppy laid down and went to sleep. Icabod 

started to clime down and he looked again and 

there was a big fat cat. He was almost licking his 

chops and looking for Icabod. Icabod did not know 

what to do.He wished that he had stayed with his 

family.

Icabod was wishing that Tanger the terrible 

would come and help him but he was afraid of 

Tanger tool "Oh what will I do? I could go down 

the back of the refrigerator but if I came out he 

would probably get me. I know I will wait until 

he goes to sleep and then crawl down. Icabod 

decided to take a nap and then if the dog was 

asleep he would go. He waited and waited and 

then saw that the puppy was asleep so he 

cautiously crawled down and then to his horror 

he saw it. It was the cat. The cat was looking 

for him. 

Icabod didn't know what he was going to do and then 

he looked down and there was a little mouse. He got an 

idea. "Hey mouse." he whispered to her. If you will give 

me a ride on your back and take me out of here I will 

tell you where some cheese is. "It's a deal. The mouse 

climed the counter. Jump down and sit on my back. 

Mouse ran as fast as she could right past the dog and 

there was an opening under the door. Here you 

are."Now tell me where the cheese is." It is on the top 

of the table.

 Good luck mouse and thank you for saving my life.

 and thank you for getting me out of here. I am going to 

go home and stay with my brothers and sisters.
