BEE ATTACK!

The morning came. I had to get some honey because the bear had eaten my supply. I took a spoon, climbed up the tree, and scooped up a big spoonful of honey.

Suddenly, I heard the loud humming of bees. I jumped down and ran so fast that I thought I was going to run out of breath. I jumped into the stream holding my breath until my lungs almost burst. My ankles got caught in some weeds. Yanking for freedom, the pain came quickly to my ankles.

Finally I came up from that horror. Standing over me were two strange looking Indians.  They carried me back to my cabin. I fell into bed, burning with the pain from the bee stings.
