"Ha! Ha! Ha! I’ve got the whole
flower garden to myself," giggled Eddie. "There are no other bees in
sight. I’ll have all the pollen I want." He buzzed over to a bright red
poppy and began to gather pollen.
A few minutes later several other
bees flew into the garden. Eddie looked at them. "Hey! I was here first!
Go and find your own flowers!"
The bees landed on the poppy next to
him. "Eddie, there’s only a few of us. Can’t we share the flowers with
you? We’ll stay out of your way."
Eddie sighed. "All right. Since
there are only a few bees I suppose you can stay, but don’t come near the
poppies. They’re mine!" They flew over to the rose bushes and began to
gather pollen.
A while later a few more bees came.
"Not more bees!" Eddie grumbled. "Now there are a lot of bees, which means
less pollen for me." The bees flew around the daisies and geraniums. "I
suppose it’s all right, as long as they don’t come near the poppies." He
went back to gathering his poppy pollen.
As the day went on, more and more
bees arrived in the flower garden. Eddie had no choice except to try to
ignore them. "More and more bees. This is the most bees I’ve ever seen. I
thought I’d have this flower garden to myself," he complained. So many
bees kept coming into the garden that Eddie started getting annoyed. They
were landing on the poppies and crowding him. "I’m getting out of here.
There are too many bees!" He flew away, looking for a flower with no bees
around it. "Aha! There’s one." He landed on a orange nasturtium. "This
will have to do."
A while later a few bees came flying
by. "Oh no you don’t. You’re not having this nasturtium!" Eddie snapped.
The other bees didn’t dare land and flew off. Eddie spent the rest of the
day by himself, enjoying his flower. |
