Introduction:

There was once a water strider

Who wanted to taste apple cider

But his curiosity

Seen as a monstrosity

Annoyed the brotherhood

Who said in all their godhood

‘Striders that get so bizarre

Can only come from afar!’

* * *

There was a beautiful queen bumblebee

That fell on the water she didn’t see

But soon help came by

And she again could fly

That beautiful and free queen bumblebee

Chapter 1

‘Help! Help! Help me!’

The Bumblebee screamed and struggled to detach its wings from the water, swirling incessantly on its poisonous stinger. But the struggle was useless! There, in the middle of the pond, with nothing to grab onto and lift herself out of the water, she was doomed. It was only a matter of seconds before she ended up satiating the appetite of a fish, a bird or some opportunistic water striders.

‘Help! Help! Help me!’

That distressed voice penetrated the Water Strider's ears like a scalding needle and the frantic vibration of the water unsettled his feet. Swift and vigorous, the Water Strider glided on the water and, although he could not fly yet, he managed to reach the Bumblebee before everyone else. He energetically got underneath her and lifted her out of the water with all his might.
