 Little Sparrow's Bee~hive Raid
Little Sparrow was kind of hungry
he said, "an apple sounds good to me."
"I think I’ll take a walk and visit
my favorite apple tree."
As he reaches the edge of the village, Princess Morning Star appears at his side.
Happy he was to see her but of course these feelings he tried to hide.
For he understood none of these feelings waging war within his heart,
He wanted to travel and have adventure from the little princess he did not want to part.
They were munching a juicy apple
when a bee caught Little Sparrow’s eye,
He thought about honey golden and sweet from whence the little bee did fly.
He said to the little maiden
"Let’s follow the bee to his home."
"Then for each of us we’ll have
a piece of his honeycomb."
It took only a little while and
they were standing before the hive,
In the trunk of a hollow tree
the many bees made it seem alive.
Morning Star was kind of worried because of all the bees flying around,
Little Sparrow laughed out loud
as something to make a fire he found.
He said, "There was nothing to it
a little smoke is all he would need."
"Then on the delicious honey
you and I will hungrily feed."
His confidence is over flowing
though he’s never raided a beehive before,
Once again the little warrior has no idea what for him is in store.
He builds a smoky fire at the base of the hollow tree
He says, "I think this is the way my father explained it to me."
Bees by the thousands were quickly forced out of the hive,
They formed an angry cloud above them, then they began to dive.
The little ones back away
then a sting puts them on the run,
Their first raid on a beehive
is officially over and done.
