The importance of little things.
Not so long ago all animals coexisted in peace, and in perfect balance. Birds soared the skies, fish swam in the oceans, rivers and lakes and animals roamed deserts, jungles, and forests. One lucky day a young bear was walking on the forest and by accident found an abandoned honeycomb, he felt curious and took it down, on the inside he found a yellow viscous substance he smell it and it smelled sweet he taste it and it tasted delicious, since that moment honey became his favorite dessert, he saved the remaining pieces of the honeycomb for later but once the honey was over the bear went looking for more, when he found another honeycomb the bear started to hit it to bring it down
-Hey! What are you doing? Exclaimed a very angry bee.
- I want honey, what are you doing in my honey? Said the bear
-This is my house please stop beating it. Said the bees
-You are lying, you just want my honey. Shouted the bear.
-I am not, I am a bee I live here. Exclaimed the bees.
-I have never heard about bees. Said the bear as he hit the honeycomb harder, in that moment all of the bees came out of the honeycomb and started to sting the bear, the bear cried and hit harder the honeycomb until it fell.
-Our home is gone. Exclaimed all the bees
-You hurt me. Said the bear
-You deserve it. Said the bees as they went flying away.
The bear filled with anger talked about how some yellow evil little beasts called bees have attacked him and left him with terrible injuries, all animals were filled with terror and persuaded by the eloquent word the bear spoke the animals decided to call up a council meeting to discuss the whole bee situation to ensure everyone's safety.
-The bees are driving us nuts. exclaimed the angry mob of animals to the judge
-We never attack if we are not in danger. Said the bees
-We don't care we want them away from our children- shouted a worried squirrel.
-Yes! Shouted all the animals. Chaos erupted.
-Calm down! As a judge in this great council I have come to a solution, the bees should be sent far away to an island to live in isolation until they learn how to behave.Said the judge.
The bear was happy with bees leaving he could have all the honey he wanted, the animals felt safe and peace ruled once again.
Several months passed and things started to change flowers, trees and even the grass started to die, animals were starving because they couldn't found food and the bear was sad because he couldn't find more honey, when everything was dead but a rosebud the great council gather again, animals found out that all these changes had happened since the bees left, as a solution they sent the bear to apologize and convince them to return, the bear went to the island and found the bees, they agree to return but when they came back the rosebud had just died.
