蜘zhī蛛zhū闲xián着zhe无聊wú liáo,想开xiǎng kāi一yì家jiā店diàn。第dì一yī天tiān他tā挂guà出chū牌子pái zi:卖mài口罩kǒu zhào。来lái了le河hé马mǎ——嘴zuǐ太tài大dà,蜘zhī蛛zhū织zhī了le一yì整天zhěng tiān才cái织zhī完wán。

Bored on his web, a spider opened a shop. Day one, the sign read: masks. A hippo came - its mouth so huge the spider wove all day to finish.

第dì二èr天tiān他tā改gǎi卖mài围巾wéi jīn。来lái了le长cháng颈jǐng鹿lù——脖子bó zi太tài长cháng,他tā足zú足zú织zhī了le一yí个gè星期xīng qī。

Day two he switched to scarves. A giraffe came - its neck took a whole week of weaving.

第dì三sān天tiān他tā改gǎi卖mài袜子wà zi。这zhè次cì来lái的de是shì蜈wú蚣gōng——四sì十shí二èr条tiáo腿tuǐ!蜘zhī蛛zhū吓xià得de直接zhí jiē跑pǎo回huí网上wǎng shàng。

Day three he switched to socks. This time a centipede arrived - forty-two legs! The spider fled straight back to his web.

只zhǐ看到kàn dào开头kāi tóu简单jiǎn dān、想不到xiǎng bu dào后面hòu mian麻烦má fan,就jiù会huì像xiàng蜘zhī蛛zhū一样yí yàng,什么shén me也yě做zuò不成bù chéng。

See only the easy start and not the trouble after, and like the spider you'll accomplish nothing.
