66 STORY OF THE BEES-Continued. Look,. papa', here is one on my arm," said Frank, "and one on my hat, too.". 66 'Well, if you keep very still, they will not harm you." But Frank did not mind what his papa' said. He hit one of the bees with his hat and ran off. The bees did not like this, and stung him. "O, O, papa'! What shall I do?" Run into the barn and get away from them," said Jane. So Frank ran and hid, but Jane stood still, as her papa' had told her. Bees were on her arm and hair, but as she did not move, they soon left her. "You see, Jane," said papa', “the bees will not sting if you do not harm them." LANGUAGE LESSON. Who went to see the bees ?
