In a busy, beehive lived a very Greedy Bee. All the other bees worked hard making honey and cleaning the hive, but the greedy bee spend all day gobbling pollen and guzzling nectar.

SLURP! SLURP! BURP!

The Greedy Bee wouldn't share nectar any one. He wouldn't even late a tired lady bird sit on his flower. Find your own flower! He shouted. This one is mine!

And when one day, the greedy bee finds a meadow full of the biggest juiciest flowers he had ever seen, he decided not to tell anyone! Yummy! He buzzed. Lots and lots of flower and they are all for Me! Wow!

The greedy bee whizzed and buzzed from flower to flower, slurping and bopping and growing Fatter...and Fatter and Fatter. And Fatter .

at last his tummy was full. And he settled down on a big ping flower in the warm yellow sun shine and feel fast asleep.

When the greedy bee wakes up, it was Dark. He tries to fly, his tummy was so stodgy and pudgy that .

He went down instead of up and landed,

BIFF!

BANG!

THUMP!

On the ground below.

I'M SCARED'' cried the Greedy Bee,

'' and I don't know how to get home!"

Then he saw two glowing eyes in the lung grass. ''EKK!" he cried.

"A MONSTER is coming to eat me!"

What do you think?

What would be the burning eyes?

But it wasn't a monster, it was two friendly fireflies, their bottoms glowing in the dark.

"What's wrong?" they asked. ''I'm too full to fly." Wailed the Greedy Bee, ''and I can't walk home in the dark!"

''Follow us," said the fireflies, and they all set off on the long, long journey home.

. Through forests of flowers and squelchy mud  

over hills and under hollows trudged the Greedy Bee. He had never walked so far and he was very tired.
