Parable of the Spiders
The man's feet were on the threshold. "That great monster will crush us if we don't defend ourselves!" cried the hatchlings. No, he will only notice us if we sting him, the old wise spiders said. But the youngest, tired of talk, ran out and bit the man on the foot, and the man saw the nest, and killed all the spiders.

I highly suspect that, had Christ used parables about creepy arachnids, he wouldn't have made such a name for himself. Except maybe as an ancient Stephen King.
Well, I don't have a cute little family to write about just now like some. Christ's parables could be dark and violent as well (the nobleman's son, for example). But the animal parables was more of an Aesop gesture anyway. Maybe I'll share my tree and the mountain parable. By the way, how many mottos did people think of for the spider parable?
A word to the unwise is a wasted word.
He who sighs and doesn't listen may find soon his life he's missin'.
Treat others as you yourself would like to be treated.
Don't bite the foot of the man whose house you occupy. Seriously. It's just rude.
Even the wisest talk avails little when there are hyperactive toddlers in the home.
