TASK 1. READING

Arachne

Arachne was a girl who lived in Greece in ancient times. She was good at weaving. Nobody on earth could weave so skillfully as she.

Arachne was not modest about her skill. She was foolishly proud of it.

After some time Athena, goddess of wisdom and household arts, heard about Arachne. She invite the girl to the contest.

One day when Arachne was weaving there suddenly appeared beside her Athena. She said: "I've heard your boasting for a long time. It's time you received a lesson. Let the contest begin".

They began to weave. Athena wove a bright picture which told the story of other foolish people who had thought themselves greater than the gods. Arachne wove a picture that told of the foolish acts of the gods themselves.

When Athena saw Arachne's work she was so angry that struck her loom with her shuttle. Then she touched the girl with the shuttle. Soon there was no girl there, but a spider sitting in a web it had woven.

So the scientific name for all spiders is arachne.
