Read Aloud“Hard Work”

Work, work, work in the hot day’s sun,Work while everyone else has fun. Make my web, so pretty and neat—Oh, look what’s stuck, a fly to eat!

The bees and flies go buzzing by,Thinking that they can always fly.But, no, that one forgot to duck.Now in my web that bee is stuck.

I’ve spun my web across the door,High up here, above the floor.What’s that? It’s big! I’d better stay hid.Oh, no, here comes a great big kid.

Stop now, young man, not one more step.You’ll smash my work and make a wreck!Oh, too late, he’s walked right through.But at least he’s covered in silky goo!
