When a young shepherd boy aims a stone at a spider web, he little dreams that it is the beginning of a lasting friendship or that the small creature will one day save his life. Akavish the Spider makes a promise to David, which he keeps. But the greatest gift he gives is the knowledge that size and strength don't always win the day: by using your own special gift and your wits, anything is possible! It's a lesson for a king, and one that the future King of Israel will never forget...

When a young shepherd boy aims a stone at a spider's web, he never imagines that this small creature will one day save his life. This simply written but moving tale of young King David - not without its humourous moments - takes a well-known midrash and shows us that one should not only be thankful for all of creation but also that by using one's own wits and very special talents anything becomes possible.It's a lesson for each one of us; a lesson for a kind, and one that the future Kind of Israel never forgets.
