A poor peasant woman who has no money for gifts or a special meal for her children gets help from a kindly mother spider on Christmas.
During the night, the mother spider spins webs decorating the tree, resulting in a Christmas that neither mother will ever forget..
As the only holiday gift she can give her children, one cold Christmas Eve the peasant woman goes to the forest to get a tree, never noticing that someone has made a home among its branches.
And although it would appear they were as different as night and day, these two mothers had more in common than would first seem.
And the other, a mother spider who also worked hard to care for her family.
One, a humble peasant woman who struggled daily to provide for her children.
Long ago in a faraway place there lived two mothers.
