Buzzy is a happy
bumblebee who loves to
fly around in the sky. Buzzy
also loves to read. One day, he was sitting on a flower reading a
book.
The book said that bumblebees were not made to fly because their
wings were too small. Buzzy began to think that he could no longer fly.
Now, Buzzy was
sad. He had to crawl down the flower, float on a leaf across the
river, and run through tall grass just to get home.
Buzzy asked his parents why they never told him that bumblebees
were not made to fly. Buzzy's Mother and Father told him that he
could fly and to listen to his own heart, not to what other people have
to say. Buzzy smiled.
