Ann and Friends - Zeek

5. Zeek

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

"Oh no," my friend said.

"A big bee is back."

"Is that bee back again?"

My friend and I hate bees.

We do not like bees at all.

"Look!" my friend said, "It's Zeek!"

"Great!" I said.

Zeek is a friendly bee so we like him a lot.

He likes apple trees and plum trees.

Zeek also likes roses and tulips.

He likes tall wet grass.

Zeek likes us a lot, too.

He would not hurt us.

He will sit on a tulip and buzz, buzz, buzz.

He will sit on a twig and buzz, buzz, buzz.

He will land on a lily as my friend and I play together.

Zeek will go away after he helps all plants.

We will miss him.
