Spiders don't wear pink.

Hairy! Scary! Be wary! Stink was on a kick. Stink was on a roll. Stink was in the zone. The paper-folding zone. Stink was cuckoo-crazy for origami. Fold. Crease. Press. Turn. Flip. He folded an orange origami fish. He folded a purple origami pinwheel. He folded a red origami ladybug. Stink could not stop folding. He folded junk mail into a string of sailboats. He folded sticky notes into an army of ants. He even folded candy wrappers. He made a candy-bar dog, a bubblegum ring, and a lollipop bow tie. Easy-peasy! Stink practiced folding Beginner Level origami. One day, he was going to advance to Level Medium.

Then Stink took out his lunch-money dollar bill. He folded it in half. He folded the corners down. He flipped it over. He folded the bottom up and the sides in. He folded the back legs. He folded the front legs. He made a zigzag fold and ta-da! His dollar-bill jumping frog was ready to hop. Stink took the origami frog outside. He pressed the back of the frog. It jumped across the deck. He pressed it again. It leaped across the yard. Again. It leaped into the tall weeds at the corner of the fence. Stink ran over to get his jumping frog. Where was it? Stink pushed apart some tall weeds, when what to his wondering eye did appear?

Something in the grass. Something pink! Was it a flower petal? A jelly bean? Doughnut sprinkles? An old piece of pink play clay? Maybe the pink thingy was a rare pink-flamingo mushroom! Stink peered closer. Wait just a leap-frog second! The pink thingy moved! The pink thingy was not just one pink thingy. It was several pink hairy things. And the pink hairy things were attached to even bigger, hairier... legs!
