This article explores how the narratives are constructed in the ordinary lives of individuals, rather than in the great adventures. The art of storytelling is based on the mundane lives, and the originators of a story can be the smallest beings. Not a hero, but a woman who does domestic life, not a human, but an insect who does humble toil can weave a marvelous narrative. In The Very Busy Spider, the spider spinning a web for dinner is the center of the story making. The animals’ repeated requests weave into a single story. In Metamorphoses, Arachne's provocative designs of weaving expose the violent transformations imposed by the gods upon fragile women. Penelope in The Odyssey uses weaving as tactics of survival through the deception of the suitors. Charlotte in Charlotte's Web weaves a web of language, turning the innocent Wilbur into a hero of an interesting narrative. Every weaving tells us that the simple plain lives can be an art of creation, for stories “never end.”(Tolkien 400)
