Fairy tale

I read "The Fall of the Spider Man" Canadian tale.


In older times Spider Man lived in the sky-country which is connecting the sky and earth.
They roam about and do good deeds for women and little children. One Spider Man very tired of his toil so he hope that down to the earth and marry some wives who would work for him while he would take life easy.
In the earth-country, he married four wives as he had planned but men so lazy that the  
country he lived reduced to starvation.  
He finally left his country to gain some foods.
After that he met a humped man and he gave him four pots. On his way to home, he ate them up. Actually, humped man knew that he wouldn’t bear his desire to eat them.
When he come back to his country everyone  
beat him and bore him to the ground because they had been anticipating having the  feast. Humped man with the lamp at his back hiding behind the trees looked on him and laughing in his glee.

I read this story for the first time.  
I like the unique worldview of this tale, such as
star-country or sky-country. I enjoyed it.
