The monkey thought, “Oh! It must be honey!

The monkey looked up. He saw a hive high above him. He also saw the bees buzzing and working together to make honey.

The monkey wanted to climb up, break off a piece of the beehive, chew it and feast on fresh honey! But he didn’t move at all. He sadly remembered: Just last week I tried to steal honey from a beehive and got stung by evil bees! It hurt so much!

The monkey sighed!

A bee flew up to the hive and looked at him. The monkey asked the bee, “How can you make such a sweet miraculous liquid like honey and at the same time carry such a terribly painful sting?”

The bee nodded wisely and agreed, “Yes, you know our good work tastes sweet; but you should also know that when someone tries to steal it, our anger can be just as bitter!”
