Will You Walk Into My Parlour???

 


Remembering the poem which I read during my school days in Rangjuli(Rangjuli Higher Secondary School) in early 1980s about the spider inviting the fly to its spidernet...and the interesting conversations and a moral lesson to learn from the poem.I could not remember who wrote it.But from the internet, I came to know that it was written by Mary Howitt(1799-1888).
Here is a link..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spider_and_the_Fly_(poem)
A few lines from the poem towards the end..
"To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart, and ear, and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly."

With Good Luck!!!
