Enlarged image of a 20 mm spider. Naturkundemuseum, Berlin.

"Suddenly I saw at the entrance of the nursery a glass showcase in which there were a myriad of small spiders, intent on weaving a huge spider's web.
At the center of it stood a giant spider.
I was frightened and angry
I looked at the caretaker that was standing near me and said : This window is dangerous, the spiders could escape and attack the children ...
She looked at me strangely and said: Did you not get it yet? The spider is there for you!"
