Speaker A
One day, Mr. Bear looks in his cupboard, and he can't find any honey. "Oh no! No honey!" he says.
Speaker A
So he goes into the forest to find some. He sees a beehive in a tree.
Speaker A
He smells the honey. "Mmmmm! Honey!" He sticks his paw into the beehive and… ZZZZZZZZZ!
Speaker A
A bee flies out. “Hey, bear! Go away!” says the bee. "This is not your honey!" Mr. Bear is annoyed.
Speaker A
“I am bigger than you,” he says. “And I am stronger than you too. I can do what I want!
Speaker A
Now... buzz off!” Mr. Bear sticks his paw into the beehive again and… ZZZZZZZZZ! ZING!
Speaker A
OWIE! The bee stings him right on his nose! “My nose! My nose! Oooh... I'm so angry!" growls Mr. Bear.
Speaker A
He finds a big stick. He tries to hit the bee. He swings and he swings, but the bee is too fast!
Speaker A
Mr. Bear gets angrier and angrier. "GARRRRRGHH! I WILL SQUASH YOU! COME HERE!" The bee flies back into the beehive.
Speaker A
"AH HAH! Now you're trapped!" yells Mr. Bear. He swings his stick at the beehive.
Speaker A
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!
Speaker A
Thousands of bees fly out of the smashed beehive. They fly around Mr. Bear's head… ZZZZZZZZZ… ZING! They sting him on his ear.
Speaker A
ZING ZING! They sting him on his elbow. They chase Mr. Bear through the forest.
Speaker A
They sting him on his arms, his legs, his hands... ... and especially on his nose.
Speaker A
ZING! ZING! ZING! Mr. Bear runs all the way home and slams the door shut. BAM!
Speaker A
Then he hears a voice behind him. It’s Mrs. Bear. “You did it again, didn’t you?” she says.
Speaker A
“You lost your temper.” “Yes,” he says as he cries and counts his bee stings.
Speaker A
“Here’s the bee-sting medicine,” says Mrs. Bear. “Also, we have honey in the cupboard. It’s behind the flour.” Moral: A hot temper always gets you into trouble.
