一隻蜘蛛

有一隻蜘蛛共蝴蠅講，"請你追這個圓的樓梯爬起來阮兜"
蝴蠅應伊講，"多謝，多謝，我共你說謝。我若爬起去恁兜，就未通追遐閣再落來。
蜘蛛閣講: "你歸日在飛來飛去，或敢真善啦。我的眠床真suie閣真爽你怎不落來此歇睏。
蝴蠅應伊講，"多謝，多謝，我跟你說謝。人講，在蜘蛛的眠床裡睏的人，不識能可又睏醒。"
蜘蛛講， "蝴蠅兄，我愛你。在我厝內的客廳，我有準備很多生臊要請你。你怎不來此坐？”
蝴蠅應伊講，"多謝，多謝，我又跟你說謝。我的腹肚飽飽，無想要給人請。"
蜘蛛復再對蝴蠅講， "蝴蠅兄。你怎會這麼緣投? 你感知你的眼睛圓滾滾, 你的翅那麼金閃閃.我提鏡來給你照，你就可知影。"
蝴蠅聽著蜘蛛讚洛伊緣投，就心內攏未記著愛張遲。伊一下飛入去蜘蛛網裡，就成做蜘蛛的晚頓。

Spider

There was a spider that said to a fly, "Please climb up this circular ladder to my house."

The fly replied, "Thank you, thank you, I thank you very much. But if I climb into your house, I will not be able to come out."

The spider said: "You fly here and there all day long, you must be very tired. My bed is very pretty and comfortable, why don't you come down here and rest."

The fly replied, "Thank you, thank you, I thank you very much. People say that whoever sleeps on a spider's bed will never wake up again."

The spider said, "Brother fly, I love you. In my house, I have prepared a lot of grass jelly to treat you with. Why don't you come here and sit?"

The fly replied, "Thank you, thank you, I thank you very much. My stomach is full, I don't feel like being treated."

The spider said again to the fly, "Brother fly, Brother fly. How are you this handsome? Do you know, your eyes are very round and your wings are so shiny. Let me get a mirror for you to see, then you will know."

When the fly heard the spider praise its handsomeness, it felt so happy inside that it completely forgot it had to be careful. It immediately climbed inside the spider's web and became the spider's dinner.
