Bee Really Deserved Feast That He Finally Got
HAVING written stories of n mouse that sings, a sparrow- that takes a
shower bath, a kitten that attacked a pigeon and a bird that waits on a
tree for the muster of the house to come home every evening, and not having
been branded "nature-faker,” I feel at
liberty to tell the following tale—also
true:
"Rees must have marvelous noses,”
he said. Ignoring the noses, i asked
him why he attributed marvelous pow
ers of smell to bees.
“Well, you see," he said, “it’s this
way. I went down to the corner
grocery store the other day to buy a
bottle of grape juice. It was one of
those warm days, and on my way
home I had to pass a yard surrounded
by a hedge. There were quantities of bees buzzing through the hedge. One |
of them must have seen me coming across the street, for he Immediately left i
the society of Ids mates and began flying around my head.
"That bee followed me up the street as faithfully as any dog. After a
few steps I saw that what lie was after was the bottle of grape juice. As far
us I could tell there was no way on earth that bee could know there was
sweet grape juice Inside that bottle, since the cork was In tight and had
never been removed.
“Rut that lellow knew sugar was near. He never left me. Across streets
he accompanied me. He was a faithful as well as busy bee. Into my home
lie came, and the door closed behind him. but he never faltered. That eve
ning my family drank the grape juice."
"And gave your bee a special cup,” 1 said.
“Well, not exactly that," lie replied. “Rut we set the empty bottle out tn
the yard, and the next morning we found tile bee asleep In the bottom of the
bottle."
"I Wonder if He’s Coming?"
