Unfair Bee

    Written by: Abdullah Fazli

There were two bees, Soso and Kato living together with other bees in a big jungle. Once drought caused to find nothing for eating. One day, Kato was very hungry and left her house to find something for eating. She asked many bees but no one helped her. She remembered that once Soso had borrowed some honey from her. She went to Soso’s house. Soso was from a rich family and she had lots of honey in her hive. Kato asked to give her some honey but Soso and her baby mocked and denied to help her. Kato asked her to give the honey that she had borrowed from her.

When Soso remembered it, she gave some dirty honey from the ground to her. Kato became very sad and left Soso’s house.

Meanwhile, a big grasshopper came into Soso’s house and asked her to give her some honey but Soso denies and says that she has nothing in her hive. The grasshopper brought out Soso and her baby from the hive and took all the honey she had. When Soso and her baby became hungry, they went to Kato’s house and saw that Kato was playing in honey. She wanted Kato to give them something for eating but Kato said that she is not fair in paying loan back and did not give her anything. Soso asked other bees too but no one was willing to help her.

Finally, Soso went to the queen of the bees and asked to help her. Other bees asked the queen not to give her bees because she is not a fair bee but the queen gave her some honey and Soso promised that she would give back on time what she would borrow.
