Solution
The spider tries to flatter the fly by praising her appearance and inviting her in to look into a mirror. The spider tells the fly that she has handsome gauzy wings and brilliant eyes. The spider further tells the fly is pretty with pearl and silver wing. The fly’s robes are green and purple hue. There is a crest upon the fly’s head. Her eyes are like a bright diamond. On the whole, the fly is elegant and beautiful.
