Help Others, And It

張永丹

There is a very beautiful park with many flowers. A small river runs down quietly near it.

One day， a bee came here to look for flowers for honey. However， while trying to pass through the river， her wings got wet. As a result， she fell into the water.

A bird was sitting in a tree nearby. He saw the bee struggling in the river and felt bad， so he picked a leaf and flew to her. By asking the bee to climb up the leaf， he saved the bee. As soon as the bees wings got dry， she could fly again. She thanked and flew back home.

Several days later， the bird was sleeping in a tree. The bee was also looking for flowers around there again. At that time， a boy was there with a gun in his hand. The bee saw the boy was aiming at the bird. When the boy prepared to shoot， it bit the boys neck badly. This made the boy cry. The boy cried so loudly that the bird woke up and flew away safely.

The story tells us to help others and the help will come back to us in a different way.
