A Bee I Am
When I was a young bee my parents taught me how to protect myself. I never used to run into anyone that used to come into my way. Then one day a lot of "things" took over my land, home and freedom. These human beings thought they ruled us. So I decided to make them know I wanted my land and freedom back. The things I most used to do were lie in the grass and fly into the flowers and trees. But a lot of giant things used to come around and kill some of my friends. Then all of us used to get mad at those giant things that killed our friends. We would pay them back by charging them with our stingers. Then the giant things would not stay around our homes and interfere with our lives. They would let us have our own lives, our own land and freedom. We would suck on flowers, have our own honey bee nests, trees to put our nests in and places to fly. Everyone would have there own freedom, even the human beings that used to rule over our land. Now we don't have to fight over whose land is whose. And everyone is happy about the things they got.
THE END!!!
