Queen Bee
The Superkids were clearing dead leaves out of the long
boxes when suddenly Tac shrieked, Eek! A bee!
Help! yelped Toc.
Its dead, Tic said. She picked up the bee and held it gently.
But its a beauty.
Cool! said Alf. I didnt know you liked bees, Tic.
I do, said Tic. A lot.
You do? said Toc with surprise. But bees sting.
Not all bees, said Tic. Different bees do different things.
One bee is the queen, Alf began. She
The queen? Tac interrupted. Now thats the job for me.
Tac put her scarf on her head like a crown and fluttered her
arms. Buzz, buzz! Look at me! Im a bee-yoo-tiful queen bee.
Toc and Tac laughed, but Alf and Tic kept looking at the bee.
Alf said, Tic, next time we go to the Media Center, Ill show
you a site about honeybees that I found on the Internet.
Great! said Tic.
Tac and Toc looked
at each other. They didnt
get it. What was so great
about bees?

Anas Advice
Sure, said Cass. I told Oswald Ill go to his party if
my mom says I can. Why wouldnt I go?
Well, said Ana. At my
school, girls dont go to boys
parties in the second grade.
But, sputtered Cass. I went
to Oswalds party last year.
Last year you were in first
grade, Ana pointed out. Did
Oswald say he was going to
invite any other girls?
Uh, no, said Cass.
Eww! said Ana. Then youll probably be the only
girl there.
Oh, eeeeeww! said Cass. How can I get out of
going?
My mom and I are going hiking that Saturday, said
Ana. Tell Oswald you cant go to his party because youre
coming with us.
