I am an insect. I spin webs and make silk. I live outdoors and like capturing and eating other insects.
Ho there, friend mouse. How are you on this fine day? Not so good! The witch is trying to catch me to put my tail in her big pot! Well, that is unfortunate. Usually she sticks to puppy dogs tails and newt tails.  Do you think that she has a new spell recipe? Not sure! I hope she doesn't catch me! Do you live here in her cottage? Of course I do.  It is dry and warm and no one disturbs my webs.  She likes them, in fact.  Calls them 'atmosphere'. Oh so she's your friend?! Maybe you could ask her to leave me alone! Maybe tell her to put this in the potion instead! I am not sure that stealing her supplies and giving them back to her will help.  Besides, I don't speak Human.  The crow might, though .. he is her familiar.  Although .. he might also eat you. Uh oh.. I don't want to make her even more mad! Oh that crow over there? No way! He's been eyeballing me all day long. If she just wants your tail then can't you just give it to her.  Do you really need it? WHAT? Of course I need my tail! What if she wanted to take one of your legs? How would that make you feel?! Well, if my choice was lose a leg or death, I would probably be deciding which was my least favorite leg. But I only have one tail! And im pretty sure it wont feel good getting removed! Maybe you are right though.
