Growing up….

As he was about to go outside he became excited thinking about all of his friends that he would see. Since he was so young he really did not know any of them for a long time but to him his whole world was either family or friends. He became so excited that he had to go out immediately. He could almost feel that he was outside. The feeling felt so strong and real that it was as though it had already happened. In a flash he was out and about. Then it was real and he was overwhelmed with excitement. Very soon he realized that he could not really go very far because he was still very young but for him it was still a big crawl. He wanted to go as far as he could but he would still have to be with his mother. Since Jake was so young that did not bother him. His interest was simply to be out and see his friends. One day he thought that he would be able to be by himself. Since he was so young such a thought seemed so far off in the future. At that moment he wanted to just slowly crawl and see who he could see. He saw some friends. They also were with their mothers, but none of them cared.

All of them were so young that they were barely able to crawl and certainly they could not crawl very far but to them any crawling outside of their web was an incredible big adventure. Even the slightest crawling movements that they made seemed like such a big deal to each of them. They were even saying how far they had crawled. One of the young spiders said, ’Look what I can do.’ Some of them were bigger and had grown more than others. Many of the bigger ones looked strange and made awkward movements. They did not know how to fully control the movements of their legs. Others were still so tiny. There was one that looked so happy, like it was just trying to dance around. The young spiders were so happy to be out and so busy talking about nonsense amongst themselves but it did not matter because they were young and that is how they start growing. Since they had barely crawled far at all the mothers could easily hear all that they were saying. The mothers were happy that their young spiders were growing and starting to socialize. All of the young spiders were so excited that soon they became tired. The adults realized this and said that it was time to go home. The young spiders were so tired that they did not mind at all. They were even so tired that they barely had the energy to say goodbye to each other but still they pretended that they had the energy. Once they were back in their webs and could rest they were full of energy again but that did not last very long. They soon became tired and had to go to sleep.

At home in their webs they were able to safely relax and get some rest. Their family would protect them and teach them. Family life was simple. Jake did not know most of his family members because they were much older than him and some no longer lived at the web home. There were some family members that were younger than him but they were barely out of their egg sacs. As he grew older he would have more contact with other relatives. He was closest to his older brother Raknar because their ages were similar. Raknar often treated him as a baby spider but he didn’t mind that so much. It did not bother him much because he was so young. Raknar would even call him ‘Jakey’ sometimes, but he did not mind. Since Raknar started calling him ‘Jakey’ sometimes other family members would also call him by that name. When he was young he would look up to Raknar. At the web there was also a sister, Arsenica, who was nice, but often moody. It was difficult to know how she would react each time you saw her. One time Jake heard someone say that she could be dangerous. All Jake really knew about her was that she was a sister. There was also an older brother Dron, as he was called, who he did not see much. Jake knew that it was not his full name but it was easy for him to remember and it sounded like a nice name. He knew that he had other family members but he did not really know them. There were older relatives who seemed like nice spiders, but when he was young he had little contact with them. He was too young and more interested in growing up than he was in trying to meet those relatives. But still it all made him feel like he was part of a nice family and that made him happy. It made him happy because he felt connected to so many spiders. When he was with his friends he often heard that they also had other relatives whom they did not really know. It all seemed normal to Jake so he did not give it much thought. One of Jake’s first friends was Sam, who was a little smaller than Jake. He was also a little younger than Jake. Sam ate but he did not grow much. He stayed smaller than Jake. So Jake started calling him small Sam. Sam did not mind that and before long other spiders called him by his nickname. He was a nice spider but not always so happy. When Jake heard that his friend small Sam was part of a small family it made Jake sad as he thought about all of his family members.

Very soon most basement spiders would become bored in their webs. They would become restless and would need to go out and crawl on their own. The very young would need more rest but they did not want to rest. They would try to crawl even though they barely had the energy. Spiders need action and they want to catch their own food. Jake and his friends were no different than other young spiders. They were all so young that it was difficult for them to catch their food but that would change soon. When they were very young they were more interested in crawling and learning.

When Jake was very young he would stay near mom and watch what she was doing. Mom was happy when each young spider watched her. It helped her to bond with
