Reading stories 22. The bear and the bees.A bear came across a log where a swarm of bees had made a home to make their honey. As he snooped around, a single little bee flew out of the log to protect his swarm. He thought the bear would eat all honey, the little bee stung him sharply on the nose and flew back into the log. This made the bear very angry. He swatted at the log with his big claws, determined to destroy the nest of the bees inside . This only alerted the bees quick as a wink, the entire swarm of bees flew out of the log and began to sting the bear from head to heel. The bear saved himself by running and diving into the nearest pond. Moral : “It is better to bear a single injury in silence than to bring thousand by reacting in anger”.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
