He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present.He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens.What he saw shocked and terrified him.A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.

Mrs.Nelson took him inside and rang his mother. "You"ll really need that fishing break to help you recover," laughed his mother with relief."Thank goodness you didn"t panic!
