A giant spider's lunch

The sound of the voice sounded strange, there was a vibration in it that he had never heard before. Surprised, he turned around with the umbrella in his hand. At first glance, he saw no one.

Hello sir, can't you see me? Look up, please!

A strange face looked at him from the sky. It was hard to tell if it was evil, laughing or crying.

I'm hungry, said a giant spider, you look like you live a healthy lifestyle.
Have you lost your tongue, asked the spider, I'm just asking because you don't say much and my throat feels dry from lack of food.

If the spider had a tongue, she would be licking her lips right now, sticking her tongue out like a frog, and grabbing the treat.

There is a McDonald's two blocks from here. They have all sorts of food there, grasshoppers, termites, and even rabbits and snakes if you like that.

Thank you, said the spider politely, and before she had finished her last word her lunch was gone.
