THE BEE AND THE DOVE

One day, a bee was flying across a lake. Suddenly there was high wind. A bee fell down into the lake. His wings got wet. Now he could not fly up. He was sure to die.

Meanwhile, a dove was sitting on near a tree. She saw the bee struggling. She plucked a leaf from the tree. She held the leaf in her beak and flew out. She dropped the leaf near the bee. The bee slowly got on to the leaf. He shook his wings.  Then he thanked the dove and flew away.

A few days later, a boy was aiming his slingshot at the dove. The dove was asleep. Her eyes were closed. She didn’t know about the danger. The bee saw the boy. He flew out to the boy. He stung the hand that held the slingshot. The boy dropped his slingshot and cried. The boy’s cry woke up the dove. She thanked the bee for saving her live and flew away.

One day, the tree on which the bee and friends lived fell down. They were so upset. They lost their mansions. One of them cried. The dove heard the bee’s friend cry. She came to the bee’s house and asked the bee what happened to his house. The bee told the dove.

After that, the dove offered the bee and friends to live together with her in a big tree. They agreed it. They  moved to the big tree. The dove lived in a hole of big tree and the bee and friends made a nest on one of the big branches of the same tree. Both the bee and the dove were not only neighbour but also friend. They often flew to some places together.

One morning, the boy came back to aim the dove again. He didn’t come alone. He came with his friends. When the boy aimed his slingshot, the dove was eating. She enjoyed her food. So that, she didn’t know about the danger. At that time, the bee and friends flew to the flower garden to find some food for breakfast. The boy had succeeded to aim the dove. The dove fell down from the tree.

When the bee got home, he found the bee unconscious in the land. He saw the boy aimed the dove. He was angry. He called his friends to sting the boy and friends. The bee and friends flew out to them and sting their face and hand. The boy and friends dropped their slingshot and cried in great pain. They ran away from the place.

The bee helped the dove and tried to treat her injury. He took care the dove patiently. Several days later, the dove got better. The dove thanked the bee and friends for saving her life again. The dove and the bee had been best friend ever since. They lived happily ever after.
