A Bear was once searching for berrles in the woods when he came across an old log where Bees had stored their honey. Wishing to find out whether the Bees were at home. he sniffed around the log with some caution. Along came a Bee on his way home from the fields with more honey. and on seeing the Bear. he angrily leapt upon his nose. stung him once. and flew swiftly into his house. The wretched Bear then rushed at the log with his teeth and claws. but the entire nest of Bees poured out and swarmed all over his body. Stumbling away in agony. The Bear was only able to save himself by falling headfirst into a nearby pond.
