The Two Bumblebees

by Phoenix Session

In this bee factory, there was a young bee who was looking forward to going outside. Every day he was one of the happiest bees around; he would hum all day while working with others.

One rainy day in spring, the bee was moping around because he couldn’t pollinate the flowers. One of his friends noticed him and flew up to him and asked: “Why are you so sad today?

The young bee replied with, “I can't work because of the rain, that's why I'm upset." His friend gave him a confused stare but realized he was a youngling, so he told him, “We need the rain to water the flowers, I myself was once told: for light to exist, there must be darkness." The young bee was puzzled and didn't know what his friend meant.

Soon after the rain stopped, the young bee noticed something. The grass was greener, more flowers were growing and the smell of the petals was stronger! It was all because of the rain.

The young bee finally understood what his friend meant: there must be some bad for there to be some good.

"The moral of the story is to “look on the bright side of things."
