    Agnes had just arrived home after an exhausting Halloween night. The tricks and scares of the night had drained her energy and she was ready for a peaceful sleep.

    Kicking off her boots, she headed towards her bedroom. She was so tired she didn't even bother to clean her feet with long painted toenails before climbing into bed.

    Agnes snuggled into her bed, her feet sticking out of the blanket. She wiggled her toes contently, letting out a sigh of relief. Sleep was beckoning her.

    With her pointy hat still on her head, she put on her sleep mask and drifted off to sleep. The peace and quiet of the night were exactly what she needed.

    As Agnes snored away, a mischievous spider crawled into the room. It spotted her feet sticking out of the blanket and decided to have some fun.

    The spider started to crawl on her feet, tickling her toes. It danced around playfully, unaware of the commotion it was about to cause.

    Agnes woke up with a start, feeling something tickling her toes. She sat up and saw the spider running around on her feet.

    In a panic, Agnes jumped out of the bed, trying to shake off the spider. Her attempt to get rid of the spider resulted in a comical dance around her bedroom.

    After several unsuccessful attempts, Agnes remembered a spell. She quickly recited it, hoping it would get rid of the spider.

    As soon as Agnes finished reciting the spell, the spider disappeared. Relieved, she took a deep breath and looked around her room. The spider was gone.

    Feeling confident, Agnes climbed back into her bed. She fixed her sleep mask and sighed with relief. Sleep was calling her again.

    This time, Agnes made sure her feet were tucked under the blanket. She didn't want to risk another spider invasion. She wiggled her toes once again and drifted off to sleep.

    With the spider gone, Agnes had a peaceful sleep. The rest of the night was quiet and uneventful. She woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and ready for another day.
