Storyteller: In the early morning, Small Honeybee wakes up, rubs his eyes, sings and arrives near the brook (小溪) to wash his face.

Small Honeybee: How cool!

Storyteller: Suddenly (突然), there is a group of butterflies flying over his head.

Small Honeybee: What a big group of butterflies!

Storyteller: All of a sudden, Small Honeybee hears some voices. Two butterflies are quarrelling (争吵) under a big tree.

Ding: Dont cry! We failed to keep pace (速度) with our partners. You are wrong. Dont you only know crying? Is it useful?

Mei: I am tired, Id like to have a rest.

Ding: Noisy! Bored!

Storyteller: But Mei cries more loudly. Ding covers up her mouth. Small Honeybee stops his own things.

Ding: Shut up!

Small Honeybee: Stop!

Ding: Who are you?

Small Honeybee: Is this your sister? Why does she cry? You ...

Ding: Its none of your business (不关你的事). You do not know anything. She is wrong.

Mei: Its not my fault. I am just tired, and dont want to fly.

Small Honeybee: Ding, I just saw a large group of butterflies fly away, they are your partners, I think. So please dont blame (责备) your sister.

Ding: Because you are tired, and want to have a rest. We are lost.

Mei: I miss my mum.

SceneⅡ

Small Honeybee: Mei, dont cry! I can help you. You will meet your mum at once. Lets fly after your mum, OK?

Mei: Really? Thank you, Small Honeybee.

Ding: Small Honeybee, are you sure my buddy (伙伴) flew here?

Small Honeybee: Yes, Im sure.

Storyteller: They begin to pursue (追赶)the butterfly group. Small Honeybee carries Mei on his back.

Ding: But why cant we see them?How long we have flown!

Small Honeybee: Because I saw them in the morning. Dont worry! We need more time, then we can see your mum.

Ding: Hmm, but you said we can find Mum at once, right?

Small Honeybee: We continue flying!

Mei: But Im hungry.

Scene Ⅲ

Storyteller: They see a flower field and stop. Small Honeybee and Ding begin to look for some food. Mei stays there and plays, but she drops into the silt (淤泥) carelessly. There is a scorpion in it. Mei is in danger.

Mei: Help, Ding. Help me!

Storyteller: Ding hears his sisters voice but he is afraid very much. He trembles (打颤) all the time and is too afraid to move. Scorpion is laughing at Mei.

Scorpion: Come on, baby. Come on!

Storyteller: Small Honeybee hears it and flies there quickly. He picks up a big stone, throws it to Scorpion quickly. The stone just falls on Scorpions head.

Small Honeybee: Quickly, quickly, come out, my friend!

Storyteller: Scorpion is pounded(猛击; 敲打) by the stone and he leaves.

Small Honeybee: Are you OK, Mei?

Storyteller: Small Honeybee wants to pull Mei out, but he isnt careful and also drops into the silt. He cant fly.

Small Honeybee: What should I do? Ding, help me, help me quickly. We could not come out.

Scene Ⅳ

Storyteller: Suddenly, Scorpion comes back. Mei is crying without stopping.

Scorpion: Ha-ha! You cant run away now.

Small Honeybee: Come on! Help us, Ding. We are in danger!

Storyteller: Scorpion creeps up on(爬向) them to be nearer and nearer. Finally, Ding plucks up (鼓起) his courage (勇气) and decides to attack (攻击) Scorpion.

Ding: Smelly(有使人难受的气味的;臭的) Scorpion, come on, you catch me, catch me, bad Scorpion!

Storyteller: Scorpion is very angry, he tries to attack Ding. At this time, Small Honeybee catches the chance, works hard and leaves out the silt as soon as possible. He pulls Mei out of the silt quickly and then flies to the sky. And Ding flies quickly after them. Finally, they all escaped.

Scorpion: I almost could have a delicious dinner. What a pity!

Small Honeybee: Thank you, Ding.

Ding: I should thank you for saving my younger sister. Im so timid(胆小的). I am always afraid when I meet the trouble. Now I know that I should do my best to protect my younger sister.

Mei: Good elder brother, I miss Mum.

Ding: Mei, dont worry, we will see Mum soon. Thanks for your help, Small Honeybee. I can catch up with the butterfly group. I can look after my younger sister.

Small Honeybee: I believe you! My friends, bye-bye.

Ding and Mei: Bye-bye, Small Honeybee, our best friend!
