Robin was arrested for stealing a loaf of bread for his hungry mother. Raja and Kenny were released from detention, after being tried for a scam of 200 billions. Salamander K. is a free man despite running his luxury car over a family sleeping on the pavement. The allegations could not be proved in court.
Honore de Balzac was right when he said, “Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.”
A firefly appeared to be trapped in the center of the piece. The spider laughed at the imperfection of manmade artistry.

The law indeed is not always fair. You need to have money for a good lawyer. That’s one of the reasons I don’t believe in the death penalty. Good writing, Reena. 😦 — Suzanne

Great Analogy!
I have, though, seen a grasshopper caught in a spider web. However, I will say that that particular garden spider was bigger than the grasshopper. Those scared me…

Nice link up between the prompt and the Balzac quotation, and a suitably ironic last line. BTW I think you mean ‘mother’ rather than ‘moth’ in your first sentence.

Certainly a truth that the rich and powerful seem to get away with more. Nice use of the prompt.
