[00:00] The Bear and the Bee.
[00:04] (A version of the tale by TheFableCottage.com)
[00:10] Everybody knows that bears love honey.
[00:14] One day Mr Bear looks in his cupboard and he can't find any honey.
[00:22] "Oh no!"
[00:23] "No honey!" he says.
[00:27] So he goes into the forest to find some.
[00:33] He sees a beehive in a tree.
[00:36] He smells the honey.
[00:39] "Mmmmm! Honey!"
[00:42] He sticks his paw into the beehive and…
[00:46] ZZZZZZZZZ!
[00:48] A bee flies out.
[00:50] “Hey, bear! Go away!” says the bee.
[00:54] "This is not your honey!"
[00:57] Mr Bear is annoyed.
[00:59] “I am bigger than you,” he says.
[01:03] And I am stronger than you too.
[01:06] I can do what I want!
[01:08] Now... buzz off!
[01:10] Mr Bear sticks his paw into the beehive again and…
[01:15] ZZZZZZZZZ!
[01:15] ZING!
[01:18] OWIE!
[01:20] The bee stings him right on his nose!
[01:24] My nose!
[01:24] My nose!
[01:27] Oooh... I'm so angry!
[01:27] growls Mr Bear.
[01:32] He finds a big stick.
[01:35] He tries to hit the bee.
[01:37] He swings and he swings, but the bee is too fast!
[01:42] Mr Bear gets angrier and angrier.
[01:46] GARRRRRGHH!
[01:46] I WILL SQUASH YOU!
[01:46] COME HERE!
[01:52] The bee flies back into the beehive.
[01:56] AH HAH!
[01:56] Now you're trapped!
[01:56] yells Mr Bear.
[02:01] He swings his stick at the beehive.
[02:03] Smash!
[02:03] Smash!
[02:03] Smash!
[02:06] He smashes it to pieces!
[02:10] Then he hears a strange sound.
[02:13] It gets louder and louder.
[02:16] ZZZZ!
[02:16] ZZZZ!
[02:16] ZZZ!
[02:16] Zzzz!
[02:16] ZZZZZZZZZZ!
[02:16] Zzzz!
[02:16] ZZZZ!
[02:23] Thousands of bees fly out of the smashed beehive.
[02:27] They fly around Mr Bear's head.
[02:30] ZZZZZZZZZ.
[02:30] ZING!
[02:30] They sting him on his ear.
[02:36] ZING ZING!
[02:36] They sting him on his elbow.
[02:40] They chase Mr Bear through the forest.
[02:43] They sting him on his arms, his legs, his hands.
[02:47] ... and especially on his nose.
[02:50] ZING!
[02:50] ZING!
[02:50] ZING!
[02:52] Mr Bear runs all the way home and slams the door shut.
[02:52] BAM!
[02:59] Then he hears a voice behind him.
[03:02] It’s Mrs. Bear.
[03:05] “You did it again, didn’t you?” she says.
[03:08] “You lost your temper.”
[03:10] “Yes,” he says as he cries and counts his bee stings.
[03:17] “Here’s the bee-sting medicine,” says Mrs. Bear.
[03:21] “Also, we have honey in the cupboard.
[03:24] It’s behind the flour.”
[03:28] Moral: A hot temper always gets you into trouble.
