- one good meal deserves another- it is about how a spider didn't like to share and the turtle asked for something to eat and he told him that he had to wash his feet before eating with him. So the turtle went to go wash his feet but by the time he got back the food was gone. The spider sat there taunting him with the empty plate.The next day turtle invited the spider to eat at the bottom of the lake. The spider could only sit down at he bottom of the lake if he filled his pockets with rocks. SO they met down there and the turtle said its not polite to eat with a coat on. so the spider took it off and floated to the top of the lake while the turtle taunted him with the empty plate. Sharing is caring.
