survivors

I never thought about this until today, but this really is a great survivor story. To me it was just a spider song with a fun hand movement. In fact, I always thought we wanted the spider washed away. We should be pointing out to the young ones the idea that we can triumph over obstacles.

The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout
down came the rain and
washed the spider out
up came the sun
and dried up all the rain
and the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again!

Am I the only one just figuring this out?
