A pair of Jewish spiders! Oh my life already. Great to see the arachnids taking centre stage in a great piece Jewish style humour. The trouble is these days is that if you tell a Jewish joke someone will accuse yo of being a racist. Sad that.

Thank you, Jim. I try not to worry about those who think the world would be better off if it was homogenized. To the unimaginative, an homage looks like a slur. Oy, God help us.
Thanks again, Jim. Peace, Lee

Jewish spiders!! What a delightful surprise when I saw the Yiddish. This is a complex story to explore - Noah, a flood --no THE flood. And spiders near the butts of elephants. You have not disappointed with this rousing tale of something we all know.

I really enjoyed this cute story. Thanks to my Jewish in-laws, I knew some of the Yiddish words. I think Yiddish spiders gave them a more interesting flair. I had some good laughs. I'm not very good at writing humor and I admire anyone who can do it so well.

Very well written. Of course, they were Jewish spiders, what else? I think this is particularly clever. Neurotic Order of Arachnid Haters?" The spiders have reasonable concerns about getting on the arc, which must have been a shit show. Your concept and humorous dialogue is very well crafted.

You have a real talent for writing. This is amusing, imaginative, Jewish spiders are great fun, and my husband has the same attitude about cruises. Beat of luck with this. It's good enough for you to get paid for it if you go after a market.

What a tale. I wonder that could made the scriptures in the next edition. I hope Gert is okay with you making her to be a spider. This is clever and creative and I imagine it will do well in the contest. But now that I've looked, I don't see where you entered it in the Biblical competition I enjoyed it and got a lot a lot of laughs.

Thanks for my evening chuckle, Lee. This is another one of your hilarious stories. It took me a bit to catch on to what story you were putting a spin on, but now I know I should have seen the elephant in line as the first clue. First class as always. Sorry I'm out of sixes.

Cute as an be. Canvidinthe spiders chatting ack and forth lo. Having to travel behind the elephants wasn't a great start to the beginning of their day but maybe they learned to cope in their journey on the ARk. Spiders know to hide when trouble begins.
