"The Small Spider and the Four Seasons" Short Arabic Story in PDF with English Translation

The "Itsy Bitsy Spider" is a famous children's nursery rhyme, translated and sung in many languages across the world. Children are captivated with the story of the friendly looking spider who insists to go up the drain or rooftop, despite the rain pouring down. This rhyme has inspired me to write an Arabic short story about another itsy bitsy spider with the aim of teaching children about the four seasons in Arabic. The story English subtitles, vocalization, and translation, which makes it suitable for little learners and even beginners.
