Bees
In the meadow
One sunny day a very funny little brown bear – his name is Clumsy – wants to get some honey. He goes to the meadow and sings a song. He is very happy because it’s Monday today and on Mondays he always has some honey for breakfast. But today he hasn’t got any honey at home so he’s ready to visit his friends, the bees, and ask them to give him some honey.
When he comes to the bees’ house he sees a strange note on the door. It says: “There aren’t any flowers near our house so we fly far-far away. If you can draw some blue, red, yellow and purple flowers, we will come back.”
Poor, poor bear… He can’t read the strange note because he is so little. He doesn’t go to school. He can’t read or write but he can sing songs and dance, and he can run and jump in the wood. He doesn’t know what to do and wants to eat, so he sits and cries.
“Why are you crying, little bear?”
“Who is that?”
“It’s me. I’m a butterfly. I’m flying in the sky and I see a poor bear crying on the grass. Why are you crying?”
“Because I wanted to ask the bees to give me some honey but there aren’t any bees at their home. And there is a strange note on the door but I can’t read. Boohoo…”
“Don’t cry, little bear, let’s ask for help.”
My friend! Can you help us? If you can read the strange note, draw the picture. Don’t forget to draw the bees’ house.
Frogs and Fish
In and by the river
When the bees see the beautiful picture of bright flowers, they will come back and bring some honey for our poor bear.
After breakfast bears usually go swimming in the river. Clumsy goes swimming, too. He likes playing in the water with the fish and jumping like a frog in the grass.
“Why do you swim so fast?” he asks the fish.
“Because we haven’t got any legs or arms to stop us. We’ve got only fins and tails to help us. Have you got any fins?”
“No, I haven’t. But I’ve got a big body and strong paws.”
“That’s why you can’t swim very fast.”
