Bumbly The Bee

One uponce a time there was a bee named Bumbly. He was always playing
tricks on the other bees. Sometimes he would jump out and scare them when
they weren't expecting it. Other times he would sneak up and give them a
little sting when they were carrying something, making them drop whatever
it was. He would always laugh and fly away before the other bees could
retaliate. This had gone on for quite some time. The other bees decided one
day that they had had enough of Bumbly's tricks and pranks. They thought
that it was time to give Bumbly a dose of his own medicine. They waited
until it was night time and they sneaked into his room. They waited for him
to come to bed. When he finally came into his room they all yelled very
loudly. It startled Bumbly something terrible. Then some of the bees gave
him a quick little sting while he was still in shock. Bumbly started
crying. It hurt when the other bees stung him. It wasn't fun when they
scared him and started laughing either. Now Bumbly knew what it was like
for the other bees that he played pranks on. It wasn't fun at all. He
thought it was funny when he did it to the other bees. He never stopped to
think what it was like for them. It wasn't funny when they did it to him
though. After that day Bumbly decided not to play practical jokes on the
other bees. He learned to think about how someone else felt and not just
himself. All it took was being completely humiliated and a few well placed
stings. But he got the point.
