1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Welcome, sleep tight stories. Otto the spider. In the cellar

2
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: of an old house, in a dark and quiet place,

3
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: there once lived a spider called Otto. He had spun

4
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: his web in the darkest corner of the cellar. Even

5
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: though he lived in a neglected and untidy place, Otto

6
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: was a very tidy creature. Every morning, he would diligently

7
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: tighten the threads of his web, draightened the unruly lock

8
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: on the top of his head with a small comb.

9
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: He kept his body perfectly black by taking baths in

10
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: coal dust. Auto led an untroubled and uneventful life and

11
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: enjoyed the peace and solitude. On the rare occasion, a

12
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: gust of wind would blow through the bars of the

13
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: small cellar window. It would come dancing through his web,

14
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: making the threads vibrate. For a moment. The game would

15
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: turn the web into a sensitive musical instrument. The web's

16
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: threads would resonate like silk cords. Games, dancing and music

17
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: served no purpose as far as Auto was concerned. He

18
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: did not like the wind and it's strumming because they

19
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: loosened the threads of his web. Otto would then jump

20
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: to and fro and threaten here, there and everywhere angrily

21
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: with his little feet. He could hardly wait for the

22
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: uninvited guest to leave to tighten the threads of his

23
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: beautiful web to perfection again. If there was anything in

24
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: the world that made this grumpy creature happy, then it

25
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: was flies and other small winged creatures that had lost

26
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: their way. He stalked them patiently, hunted them deftly, and

27
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: then wrapped them up in sticky threads. Immediately after a

28
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: tasty meal, Otto would hurry off to repair his wi

29
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: web again. He would join the broken threads and check

30
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 1: the totness of his knots. One rainy afternoon, haunted by

31
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: a strange impulse, Otto set off to explore the cellar.

32
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: He strolled across the hill of coal, crept into an

33
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: old basket, and discovered a little, old wooden chest. The

34
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: lid had been left ajar and seemed to be calling

35
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: to the spider as he crawled inside the chest. Little

36
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: did he know that the events that followed would change

37
00:03:52,120 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: the habits of a lifetime. Inside the chest, Otto discovered

38
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: wondrous things. Needles of all sizes, spools of thread, crochet hooks,

39
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: wooden knitting needles, a pair of old rusty scissors and

40
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: some pincushions lay on a pile of old lace. Otto

41
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: marveled at these mysterious bits and pieces. He felt strangely

42
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: attracted to each and every one of them. Suspicion and

43
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: caution were forgotten. Curiosity got the better of him, and

44
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: he crawled into every nook and cranny of the chest

45
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: to have a closer look at each and every object.

46
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Suddenly he stepped into something horrible, something unbearably untidy, in fact,

47
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: something disgusting and brightly colored. Ahhh, screamed Otto in horror,

48
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: and fell straight into the middle of this disgusting something.

49
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Otto was trapped. He started shaking his little feet, and

50
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: some of the threads seemed to come alive, winding themselves

51
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: around the spider's body. Out of his mind with fear,

52
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: he closed his eyes and imagined he was struggling with

53
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: a terrible cellar monster. The more he struggled, the more

54
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: he became entangled. The spider felt as helpless as a

55
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: fly caught up in a web. Help, he gasped. His

56
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: cry echoed through the rooms of the empty, abandoned cellar.

57
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Who could possibly help this lonely creature. Suddenly, a strong

58
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: gust of wind blew through the chest. The winds invisible,

59
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: skillful fingers grabbed the monster and started shaking it and

60
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: tearing its terrible feelers apart. Slowly, the suffocating pressure around

61
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: Otto's neck disappeared and the threads flew in all directions.

62
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Only two two threads remained and wrapped around Hotto's head

63
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: and body. They now looked more like decoration than the

64
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: scary feelers of a monster. Otto was saved. The wind

65
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: laughed as it blew through the chest and flew away.

66
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: Hey friend, shouted Otto to the wind, Thank you, my friend.

67
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Once again, Otto was all alone. He looked around in

68
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: wonder and amazement. He was surrounded by threads of all

69
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: colors and sizes, zigzag reds, wavy greens, dotted yellows, straight grays,

70
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: twisting blues. What Otto had thought was a terrible monster

71
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: was only a tangled ball of old wool. The little

72
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: creature suddenly felt mysteriously inspired. He started to gather the

73
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: woolen threads and began weaving them with his deft little feet. Soon,

74
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: a brand new and cheerful web made of leftover pieces

75
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: of wool had turned the drab gray cellar into a

76
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: blaze of color. Today, Otto can often be found sitting

77
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: on this new, brightly colored web, where he entertains his guests.

78
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: The wind is happy. He likes to compose and play

79
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: tunes on this new multicolored instrument. Each colored thread makes

80
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: a different sound. Otto listens closely. Sometimes he dances happily

81
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: around to the sound, and sometimes he just stands back

82
00:09:22,160 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: and pretends to conduct. Do Do Do Do do A
