0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's horrible, it's horrible!
0:01:11 > 0:01:12What's horrible?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25That.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Oh...my...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- It's...- Huge.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Hairy spider.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35We have to get rid of it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But...you're usually brave with bugs and whatnot.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- No, I'm not!- Erm...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yes, you are. You love them!
0:01:44 > 0:01:48You're always going on about how much you want one as a pet.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Well, I like butterflies, ladybirds, and colourful beetles,

0:01:57 > 0:01:59I hate spiders.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03They do scary things like crawl all over stuff.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Hello!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I'm afraid if we don't get rid of the spider now,
0:02:10 > 0:02:15it will stay in my room forever, and I won't have a room any more.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19But...how do we get rid of the spider?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Don't look at me. I don't know.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Most spiders are harmless and just want to be left alone.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Can't you get rid of it?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30No. Sorry, kids.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Please?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I'm a bit scared of spiders, too.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Is it still there?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Oh, gross. It's on your bed now.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- It is big.- See, I told you it was trying to take over.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- We have to get Dad right now. - Well, first we have to find him.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I think he had an emergency job at number 24.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Come on, kids. Let's try and catch him.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Oh, hello, Patience.- Hello.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Let me guess. You're after Kobi.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Can I speak to him, please?- Ah, you just missed him.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26He was chatting on about some job he's been putting off forever.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Sounded kind of horrible if you ask me.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32You know our Kobi. He sometimes puts off doing the messy stuff.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36THEY LAUGH Then, he said he was hungry.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39So, it may be he's taken himself off for a wee nibble.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Sorry for the bother.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Kids, let's see if we can find your dad back in his shed.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46BOTH: Aww!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48SHE LAUGHS
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Come on, girls. We'll find him.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Hiya.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Hello, girls.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04You look like you're in a hurry.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08A spider has moved into Sam's room, and it's taken over her bed.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We need someone to help us get rid of it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14We're all scared of it, including Mum.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Well, I'm not especially scared of spiders, so...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Let's have a look.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So, where is this creature?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Oh, no. It's gone.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It could be anywhere. Under the pillow?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Or under the bed.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46This is horrible. I'm never going to get my room back.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Hmm...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Maybe you can come home with us. - Whoa, whoa! Calm.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Have you ever heard of the word "arachnophobia"?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57"Arachno...phobia"?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00What is that? A type of yucky food?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It's a grown-up word.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It means fear of spiders.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09There are ways of making people's fear of spiders go away.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13But first, I must find the creature and capture it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I think I've found our friend.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Careful, Gran!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Oh!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Oh, I can't reach it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I think I could do with a stepladder.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- My dad has one. Can we call him and see where he is?- Smart move.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43LOUD JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Sorry for the emergency call out, mate.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52No problem. Always glad to help.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- PHONE BUZZES - I said, no problem.- What?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I said, actually, doing this job has meant me
0:06:00 > 0:06:03putting off another really horrible chore.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Oh, it's a real stinker, the other job.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Oh, come on, everyone. Spiders aren't so bad.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Yes, they are. All they do is upset little kids.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I wish there were no spiders in this world.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Oh, but Sam, the world absolutely needs spiders.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58In fact, the world would fall apart without spiders.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59- Really?- How?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Well... Let's think.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07What do spiders eat when they're hungry?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Er... People?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11No, they eat bugs.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Correct.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16They eat insects and other creepy crawlies.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Including the really nasty ones that eat farmers' crops and plants.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27One spider can eat approximately 2,000 insects every year.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29That's a lot of insects.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32So, imagine if there were no spiders.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35What do you think would happen?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37The world would be ruled by bugs.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46For the world to work properly, we need all kinds of creatures,
0:07:46 > 0:07:47big and small.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And that includes the spider.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Wow, really? I guess we have to save the spider in Sam's room, then.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06I still can't get that man on the phone.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Right.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Sam, let's go and get the stepladder from the shed
0:08:10 > 0:08:12and sort this spider out.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14BOTH: Aww...
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I mean...for Grandma Zainab to sort the spider out.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Eugh!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Come on, Kobi. You can do it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35It's just a measly eight yucky recycling bins.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Kobi?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- There you are.- Oh!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42You've caught me at a really busy moment.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Ew, that's a yuck!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Oh, well, you see? That's what I have to deal with.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48We have a problem.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- Your daughter won't even step in her room because of a...- Hairy spider.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Neither will Mum.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- Well...- Grandma Zainab's trying to help, but we need a stepladder.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh, no, I've got a better idea.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Patience, why don't we swap tasks?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09If you help me out with this recycling yuck,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and I'll come and sort out the spider.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- HE CHUCKLES - Deal?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16THEY LAUGH
0:09:16 > 0:09:19OK, we have a deal.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Let's have a go.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Result! He-he-he-he!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35This, kids, is how you catch a spider.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41It takes years and years of gruelling training.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Only joking. - KIDS LAUGH
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Hello, Mr Spider.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Can I borrow you for a moment?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Come to Kobi.- Careful, Dad.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Ah, gotcha.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07HE CHUCKLES
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Hey, guys. Meet...
0:10:19 > 0:10:20..the spider.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Spider, this is Mali...
0:10:24 > 0:10:26..Bella...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- ..and this is...- Sam. My name is Sam.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32You know, I used to love spiders when I was a kid.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36I think it's because we used to listen to old African
0:10:36 > 0:10:39stories about the legendary trickster...
0:10:39 > 0:10:40..Anansi spider.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Aunt Nancy?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- LAUGHING:- No. Anansi spider.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48He was a really interesting creature.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Now, the great Sky God, Nyame, liked him
0:10:51 > 0:10:55so much, that he gave Anansi a special pot full of wisdom.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57But Anansi wasn't satisfied.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01He wanted to be the only person in the world with wisdom.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03So, he hatched a plan.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07He went from door to door asking people to hand over their advice
0:11:07 > 0:11:10and wisdom, which he took away in his special pot.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15Finally, when the pot was full, Anansi attempted to hide it on top
0:11:15 > 0:11:19of the tallest tree in the world, so no-one could steal it from him.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21But every time Anansi tried to climb the tree,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23the pot nearly fell off his back.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Just then, a young girl walked by, and suggested that Anansi tie
0:11:28 > 0:11:32the pot to his back, in order to climb the tree.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Now, Anansi was surprised by the little girl's wise words, and
0:11:36 > 0:11:40it made him realise that wisdom was best used when shared with others.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44So, when he got to the top of the tree, he released all of the
0:11:44 > 0:11:49wisdom from the pot, and scattered it to every corner of the world.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55Now, THAT is how wisdom came into the countries of the world.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Wow!- I like that story.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- BELLA:- Yeah, it's cool.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Maybe it'd be a good idea if I gave the spider a name.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Like a pet name.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10How about we call it...Hairy Harry?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Now I feel guilty I kicked it out of my room,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and now it won't have anywhere to live.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Well, it might be a good idea if we found it a new home.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Maybe somewhere like...- Bill's.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Or...- The community garden!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Yes, where it can roam free and eat load of bugs for dinner.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35That's a great idea.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Let's stick him down over here.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50OK. How about this?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- There we go. - BELLA:- Bye-bye, Hairy Harry.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I hope you find lots of bugs to eat.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00HE CHUCKLES
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I'm still not sure if I want to share my room with a spider.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Good job your dad could help him find a new home.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12THEY LAUGH
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I wonder what Hairy Harry's up to right now.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Eating bugs and keeping the planet safe.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Does this mean you're no longer scared of spiders?
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Well... No. Just a tiny bit. But not as much as before.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29HE LAUGHS
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- You're a good friend, Mali. - And you're a great friend, Sam.
