Water-Spider, Wonder-Spider

It is springtime and a little water spider, in search of a homely place to live, decides to settle down by a forest lake, much to the surprise of his new neighbours: spiders don't live in water. And even if they did, why wear a pair of sparkling trousers under water? Soon however the water spider makes a diverse circle of friends who help out with the construction of a new home. First and foremost it's the garden spider who takes a shine to the newcomer: together they while away the days both above and under water, as they jam with the cricket and organise a sports competition, before winter returns and the water spider again needs to get ready to find a place to stay.
