Our Lost Land

OUR LOST LAND
Once long ago the Killer Bees had a land to themselves, but then these strange things called human beings took over our land.

Anyway, one day my friends and I had a big get-together party. We were planning to build the biggest hive ever built by Killer Bees.

While we were building our hive a little human being came around poking at it with a stick. Some of my friends got so mad that they went to attack the human. When they came back, they were so sick looking. We all tried to help them but they died.

My friends wanted so much to injure that human, but they died trying to protect their new hive.

Now we can't finish the hive. So I'm warning you other bees to think before you go around stinging anything,


THE END
