1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep tight stories. Otto the spider.

2
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: In the cellar of an old house, in a dark

3
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: and quiet place, there once lived a spider called Otto.

4
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: He had spun his web in the darkest corner of

5
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: the cellar. Even though he lived in a neglected and

6
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: untidy place, Otto was a very tidy creature. Every morning,

7
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: he would diligently tighten the threads of his web. He

8
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: would straighten the unruly lock on the top of his

9
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: head with a small comb. He kept his body perfectly

10
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: black by taking baths in coal dust. Otto led an

11
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: untroubled and uneventful life and enjoyed the peace and solitude.

12
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: On the rare occasion, a gust of wind would blow

13
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: through the bars of the small cellar window. It would

14
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: come dancing through his web, making the threads vibrate for

15
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: a moment. The game would turn the web into a

16
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: sensitive musical instrument. The web's threads would resonate like silk cords.

17
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: Game dancing and music served no purpose as far as

18
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Otto was concerned. He did not like the wind and

19
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: it's strumming because they loosened the threads of his web.

20
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Otto would then jump to and fro and threaten, here, there,

21
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: and everywhere. Angrily with his little feet, he could hardly

22
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: wait for the uninvited guest to leave, to tighten the

23
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: threads of his beautiful web to perfection again. If there

24
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: was anything in the world that made this grumpy creature happy,

25
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: then it was flies and other small winged creatures that

26
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: had lost their way. He stalked them patiently, hunted them deftly,

27
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: and then wrapped them up in sticky threads. Immediately after

28
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: a tasty meal, Otto would hurry off to repair his

29
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: web again. He would join the broken threads and check

30
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: the totness of his knots. One rainy afternoon, haunted by

31
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: a strange impulse, Otto set off to explore the cellar.

32
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: He strolled across the hill of coal, crept into an

33
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: old basket, and discovered a little, old wooden chest. The

34
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: lid had been left ajar and seemed to be calling

35
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: to the spider as he crawled inside the chest. Little

36
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: did he know that the events that followed would change

37
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: the habits of a lifetime. Inside the chest, Otto discovered

38
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: wondrous things. Needles of all sizes, spools of thread, crochet hooks,

39
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: wooden knitting needles, a pair of old, rusty scissors and

40
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: some pincushions lay on a pile of old lace. Otto

41
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: marveled at these mysterious bits and pieces. He felt strangely

42
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: attracted to each and every one of them. Suspicion and

43
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: caution were forgotten. Curiosity got the better of him, and

44
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: he crawled into every nook and cranny of the chest

45
00:04:52,200 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: to have a closer look at each and every object.

46
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: Suddenly he stepped into something horrible, something unbearably untidy, in fact,

47
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: something disgusting and brightly colored. Ahh, screamed Otto in horror,

48
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: and fell straight into the middle of this disgusting something.

49
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Otto was trapped. He started shaking his little feet, and

50
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: some of the threads seemed to come alive, winding themselves

51
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: around the spider's body. Out of his mind with fear,

52
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: he closed his eyes and imagined he was struggling with

53
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: a terrible cellar monster. The more he struggled, the more

54
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: he became entangled. The spider felt as helpless as a

55
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: fly caught up in a web. A he gasped. His

56
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: cry echoed through the rooms of the empty, abandoned cellar.

57
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Who could possibly help this lonely creature Suddenly, a strong

58
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: gust of wind blew through the chest. The winds invisible,

59
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: skillful fingers grabbed the monster and started shaking it and

60
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: tearing its terrible feelers apart. Slowly, the suffocating pressure around

61
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: Otto's neck disappeared, and the threads blew in all directions.

62
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: Only two threads remained and wrapped around Hotto's head and body.

63
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: They now looked more like decoration than the scary feelers

64
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: of a monster. Otto was saved. The wind laughed as

65
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: it blew through the chest and flew away. Hey friend,

66
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: shouted Otto to the wind, Thank you, my friend. Once

67
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: again Otto was all alone. He looked around in wonder

68
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: and amazement. He was surrounded by threads of all colors

69
00:07:51,840 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: and sizes, zigzag reds, wavy greens, dotted yellow, straight grays,

70
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: twisting blues. What Otto had thought was a terrible monster

71
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: was only a tangled ball of old wool. The little

72
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: creature suddenly felt mysteriously inspired. He started to gather the

73
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: woolen threads and began weaving them with his deft little feet. Soon,

74
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: a brand new and cheerful web made of leftover pieces

75
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: of wool had turned the drab gray cellar into a

76
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: blaze of color. Today, Otto can often be found sitting

77
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: on this new brightly colored web where he entertains his guests.

78
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: The wind is happy. He likes to compose and play

79
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: tunes on this new multi colored instrument. Each colored thread

80
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: makes a different sound. Otto listens closely. Sometimes he dances

81
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: happily around to the sound, and sometimes he just stands

82
00:09:26,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: back and pretends to conduct good night, sleep tight dot

83
00:10:36,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: the out
