1. What did the bee do every day?
2. What did the lazy butterfly learn at the end of the story?
In a big garden, there lived a busy bee and a lazy① butterfly②. Every day, when the sun came up, the bee would fly out to get sweet juice from the flowers. It knew it had to work hard to make honey③, so it never wasted time.
The butterfly, however, just flew around all day, having fun in the sun. It laughed at the bee and said,“Why do you work so much? Let's play!”
When fall came, the weather got cold and the flowers died. The bee had lots of honey in its home, but the butterfly had nothing to eat.
The butterfly was so sorry. It said it would work hard and use its time well from then on.
Word banks: ①lazy adj. 懒惰的 ②butterfly n. 蝴蝶 ③honey n. 蜂蜜
