On a sunny morning, Andy rode to school slowly, day-dreaming
about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming
about all the fish he would catch that he didn't notice everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present.
He came to a stop and looked up to the sky. What he saw frightened him. A huge group
of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and seemed to be flying angrily towards
him.
With no time to waste, Andy rode off in the opposite direction,
but without knowing how to escape the bees. As the bees came closer, he was afraid.
He knew that he was sensitive (敏感的) to bee stings (蜇). Last time a sting had put
him in hospital. And that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in
bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father's words came to him." When you
are in danger, don't panic. Stay calm, use your brain and think your way
out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke rising slowly from the chimney
(烟囱)
of the Nelson family home "Bees don' t like smoke," he thought. "They
couldn't get into the house." Andy raced towards the Nelson's house, but the
bees were coming very close. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He
thought that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, he saw a small pool at the corner. He got off his bike
and jumped into the cool water, disappeared below the surface and kept away from
the horrible insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came
