“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “kind Sir, that cannot be,
I’ve heard what’s in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!”
Can you guess what was in the pantry?

उत्तर
the “pantry” contains the remains of other insects that the Spider has already caught and eaten.
The Fly’s refusal is a smart move because:
- The Spider uses the “pantry” as a lure to get the Fly inside his web
- The “delicacies” the Spider mentions are actually previous victims.
- The line highlights the Fly’s initial caution against false hospitality and predatory intentions.
