Once upon a time There was a family of four. Liz was the Mother, Michael was the Father, and Justine and Mary Ann were the daughters. It was 1980.

Every year during the summer they would go camping up river. While they were at camp Justine and Mary Ann would help their Mom cut fish. Once in a great while one of the girls would help her dad fish.

One day when all their fish was cut they decided to go for a short walk. While they were walking, Mary Ann ran into a bee hive. She grabbed a stick and hit it so hard that it fell and broke open.

Thousands of bees came towards the girls. Justine was the first to run so she was way ahead of Mary Ann.

When Justine heard Mary Ann screaming for help, she ran back to where Mary Ann was and found her surrounded by thousands of bees and crying for help. Justine ran as fast as she could back to their camp and told her parents. She then showed them where Mary Ann was.

When they got there the bees were gone but Mary Ann was lieing there helpless. When Michael went over to her and pinched her she didn't react. Liz and Justine began to cry. Justine said over and over how much she hated bees, and how they killed her sister!!

After a few hours passed, finally they all reached their home town. A couple days later they had a service for Mary Ann.

Later that year, Michael and Liz talked to people about what had happened to their daughter, and they told them to watch their children more often when there are bees around.
