They had to come up with a plan soon. The night before the farmer planned on butchering Cow, Spider came up with a plan to help his friend. He ventured out to the field where Cow lived, and told Cow to lay down and pretend to be dead. Then, he spun a web all around Cow, so that it looked like Cow had been dead for quite some time. When the farmer came out the next morning, he saw Cow, and said, “Oh no, Cow has died! I can’t butcher him now, his meat has spoiled and will no longer be good to eat. I’ll
