The Bear and the Bee (A version of the tale by TheFableCottage. com) Everybody knows that bears love honey. One day MrBear looks in his cupboard and he can't find any honey.

"Oh no! No honey! " he says.

So he goes into the forest to find some. He sees a beehive in a tree. He smells the honey.

"Mmmmm! Honey! " He sticks his paw into the beehive and… ZZZZZZZZZ!

A bee flies out. “Hey, bear! Go away!

” says the bee. "This is not your honey! " MrBear is annoyed.

“I am bigger than you,” he says. “And I am stronger than you too. I can do what I want!

Now. . .

buzz off! ” MrBear sticks his paw into the beehive again and… ZZZZZZZZZ! ZING!

OWIE! The bee stings him right on his nose! “My nose!

My nose! Oooh. .

. I'm so angry! " growls MrBear.

He finds a big stick. He tries to hit the bee. He swings and he swings, but the bee is too fast!

MrBear gets angrier and angrier. "GARRRRRGHH! I WILL SQUASH YOU!

COME HERE! " The bee flies back into the beehive. "AH HAH!

Now you're trapped! " yells MrBear. He swings his stick at the beehive.

Smash! Smash! Smash!

He smashes it to pieces! Then he hears a strange sound. It gets louder and louder… ZZZZ!

ZZZZ! ZZZ! Zzzz!

ZZZZZZZZZZ! Zzzz! ZZZZ!

Thousands of bees fly out of the smashed beehive. They fly around MrBear's head… ZZZZZZZZZ… ZING! They sting him on his ear.

ZING ZING! They sting him on his elbow. They chase MrBear through the forest.

They sting him on his arms, his legs, his hands. . .

. . .

and especially on his nose. ZING! ZING!

ZING! MrBear runs all the way home and slams the door shut. BAM!

Then he hears a voice behind him. It’s Mr. Bear.

“You did it again, didn’t you? ” she says. “You lost your temper.

” “Yes,” he says as he cries and counts his bee stings. “Here’s the bee-sting medicine,” says Mr. Bear.

“Also, we have honey in the cupboard. It’s behind the flour. ” Moral: A hot temper always gets you into trouble.
