Miss Muffett

The initial rhyme I was looking at, was the 'Little Miss Muffett" rhyme:

Little Miss Muffett,
Sat on a tuffett, (?)
Eating her curds and whey. (a cheese and milk concoction)

There came a big spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffett away.

Definitions:

Little Miss Muffet is about a girl named Patience Muffet
whos step-father had a lot of insects around.
It's talking about how maybe Miss Muffet is sitting eating her lunch and one of her step-fathers spiders had got out and she had saw it and scared her away.

I wanted to change that to make children aware to the danger of strangers.

'A Big Spider' - not exactly a cuddly soft toy
- lots of hands
- a predator
- usually dark, creepy

Initially I wanted to use pictures with the same rhyme to emphasize this:
