NAME:

Read this fragment from “The Fairy Seamstress”:

After dinner, the prince took Narizinho to the house of the best seamstress in the kingdom. It was a spider from Paris, who knew how to make beautiful dresses, beautiful until she couldn't! She herself weaved the fabric, she herself invented the fashions.

- Miss Spider - said the prince - I want you to make for this illustrious lady the most beautiful dress in the world. I'm having a big party in her honor and I want to see her dazzle the court.

She said and withdrew. Dona Aranha took the measuring tape and, helped by six very smart little spiders, began to take the measurements. Then she wove quickly, quickly, a pink fabric with little golden stars, the most beautiful thing imaginable. She also wove pieces of ribbon and pieces of lace and inset—even spools of silk thread she made.
