Part IV
When Coyote met the spiders that evening, they greeted him with unfeigned warmth. "It worked just the way you said it would!" said the Spider Queen. "We caught a dozen of them!"
"Location, location, location," said Coyote. "And you sent four very nice ones right to me. Any doubts now about the value of a cooperative venture?"
"Not a one," said the Queen. "Have your lawyers call mine and we'll draw up a contract."
"Great," he said. "In the meantime, I'd like you to accept a little gift. He pulled a book out of his knapsack and handed it to her.
She looked it over. "Hmm, Crinolina: A Brief Guide for Busy Predators , by W.E. Coyote! Why thank you!"
"Glad to be of service," said Coyote. "Is, uh, dinner ready?"
"Of course, you furry rascal!" said the Queen. "We know our guest very well. Let's dig in!"
