Garrett Davis: Here's a story from North America!
Son: Daddy, daddy, daddy, hurry!
I saw something scurry!
Father: Son, what's all this screaming for?
You're gonna wake the neighbors next door!
Son: Daddy, I think there's a spider on my floor!
Is it?
And will you squish it?
Father: You call me in here in the middle of the night
To come into your room and destroy life?
Is that what they teach you
In Sunday School?
Son: But Daddy, it's gross!
It's got a million legs!
A billion eyes!
A trillion eggs!
Father: Son, it's not disgusting - it's just reality;
Take a deep breath and appreciate life!
Look how delicate his legs are
Crawling across your bedroom floor!
Do you know the proper name?
Son: Arachnid!!!
Father: That's right!
We're living in a world that's full of creatures,
Big and small,
Hairy and slimy,
You are not the center of the world...
How would you feel if a giant hand
Came out of the sky and decided to crush you?
Son: I guess I'd be scared, but Daddy!
What if
The spider hurts me?
Garrett Davis: *turns page*
Father: He didn't hurt you yet, did he, son?
Your logic is flawed, you come undone!
Swallow your pride.
What if the spider said the same thing:
"Daddy, daddy, kill that kid!"
Son: That's the point, dad! What if he did?
That's why
I have to strike first!
Father: What if he did?
What if he didn't???
What if the world was made of pudding???????
All I'm saying is consider
Something
Besides your
Thirst... for blood?
Son: Dad, you're right!
Now I see!
Maybe he's got a family!
Father: Now you're learning,
Understanding,
Finally you're becoming human!!!
Let's return him to his natural habitat -
Put him in a cup and take him outside...
Godspeed.
