The Bee Story by Tanya Peter

:

Last summer while I was walking home with my friends, a bee came around and it stung me on the butt. I wanted to cry but I was too old, so I started swearing. My friends asked me what was wrong, and I told them that a bee stung me on the butt. They started laughing.

When I got home I started crying and my mom asked me what was wrong. I told her that my friends were laughing at me because a bee stung me on the butt. Boy it hurt really bad, especially when I tried to sit down. So I decided to lie down.

The next day Charlotte came over and asked me if I wanted to go swimming at the sand bar. So I did, since my butt felt
better and I could sit down. But while we were at the sand bar
getting ready to swim, another bee started buzzing around.

We all ran into the water and started splashing, but I got tired of splashing so I ran out of the water and started running.

Just when I stopped to rest though, that bee stung me on the butt again. Boy, it hurt really bad this time! I couldn't sit down at all, and while I was driving the boat home, I bumped a sand bar. Boy, did my brother get mad, because we were really stuck. A few minutes later though, we got out. When we finally got back to Marshall, it took me 20 minutes to get to my house because my butt hurt so badly.. This time there was a big lump there and I couldn't walk for one whole week.
