Good friends

Once upon a time, there were two best friends, the bee and the butterfly. But the bee was diligent and hard-working, while the butterfly was the opposite of the bee, lazy and just hung out all day. One day, a dragonfly had a broken wing. When it saw the butterfly flying by, the dragonfly called out to the butterfly for help: “Butterfly, help me. My wing is broken and I can’t fly home. Please help me.” The butterfly pretended not to know anything and just flew away.

The bee was busy collecting honey, but when he saw the dragonfly injured, he stopped his work and flew over to help his friend. The bee found a leaf for the dragonfly to sit on, and carefully told his friend: "You're still injured, so just sit here and don't fly away." Then the bee went to find food for the dragonfly and bandaged his friend's wound. After bandaging the dragonfly's wound, the bee even took the dragonfly home. The dragonfly thanked the bee and went inside, and the bee also flew back to finish his work.

Another time, a bee helped the queen ant in a faraway kingdom to return to her nest. The queen ant was very grateful to the bee so she invited the bee to her kingdom to play and gave her valuable things. Not only ants and dragonflies, many other animals were also helped by the bee so everyone loved the bee. The butterfly was left out so she thought to herself: why should I help those people, I don't need those things either. Then the butterfly left proudly.

One day, a butterfly was flying and got caught in a spider's web. It couldn't get out. It called for help, but no one came to help. Everyone thought to themselves: Why should we help someone like that? It's useless. They deserve it! Everyone ignored the butterfly and left.

Seeing this, the bee not only did not ignore it but also told everyone: "No matter what, we are still friends and live together in the same forest, we must always be there when others need help. That is what good friends are." Understanding what the bee said, everyone came to help the butterfly. When the butterfly was stuck in despair, everyone turned around and worked together to pull the butterfly out. The butterfly then bowed its head in regret and understood a lesson for life, so from then on, the butterfly changed and was very different from the butterfly before. Gradually, everyone loved both the bee and the butterfly.
