Question From The Children’s Series #2 Patience And Respect

There once was a field of wildflowers covering the hillside of the land. The sun rose every morning touching the wildflowers with rays of light welcoming them to the new day. The wildflowers in return opened their pedals of color to the world again.

The wildflowers turned the hillside into a brilliant canvas of red, yellow, and blue. The night came and went and the new day arose again. The wildflowers noticed something different. The difference was a swarm of bumble bees covering the sky above them.

The bumble bees began to land on all the pedals of the wildflowers. The wildflowers asked the bumble bees why are you here? The bumble bees spoke saying we saw from above the beauty of this hillside filled with wildflowers.

We are in need of your pollen to make food for our young in the hive and to make the sweet honey for the people to enjoy. You see you are important to us the same as you are important to the hillside that you live on.

The next day the wildflowers were awakened to the sound of children running through the field of wildflowers. The children were unaware of the bumble bees at first until one loud scream pierced the sound of laughter with a cry of anguish. The bumble bees began to protect their friends the wildflowers that day.

The bumble bees knew they were one with the wildflowers and without them they knew their existence was threatened. The children did not understand the wildflowers were meant to be seen and enjoyed without damage to the beauty found on the hillside.

The wildflowers and the bumble bees became one protecting each other that day. The children learned a valuable lesson that day.

The lesson of Patience and Respect for the beauty of the wildflowers on the hillside.
