Hermie loved to travel all over the world. Today he was on a tropical island. Hermie liked to get away from all the dinosaurs from his land because some were very mean and rude.

Hermie always loved to make new dinosaur friends. He always had something to talk about with them. Like being an herbivore or an omnivore or a carnivore. He always knew which type of dinosaur ate which kinds of food. That was his go to conversation starter.

One day when Hermie was walking along the beautiful beach on the island he came upon an interesting animal. It was unlike any dinosaur he had ever seen. It was a tiny creature with eight legs!

Hermie immediately went over to inspect this interesting creature. Hermie wanted to become friends with the little one.

"Hello, my name is Hermie. Would you like to become friends?" Hermie asked. He was sure that this creature would want to be friends with him.

"I am Eva. And I am not sure I want to be friends with a creature of your size." The little spider answered.

Hermie was very mad at this little spider.

"Well who would want to be friends with a creature as small as you. You are barely an inch long!" Hermie told the little spider. The spider got really angry with Hermie. Hermie had no right to insult the spider.

Hermie decided to head home because the little spider did not want to be friends with him. Hermie thought the creature deserved what he said. Hermie remembered what he said to the little creature. And he did not care if he hurt the creature's feelings.

Hermie decided to tell his mom all about the trip he went on.

"It was awesome except this creature did not want to be my friend." He told his mom. His mom thought about it for a moment. How could a creature not want to be friends with Hermie? Hermie was the nicest kid around.

"Hermie tell me exactly what happened." His mom told him. Hermie nodded.
