Once upon a time, a small Bee gave a very special gift to Jupiter, the ruler of all. This gift was a pot filled with sweet, golden honey. Jupiter was so happy with the gift that he told the Bee she could ask for any one thing she wished for, and he would make it come true.
The Bee, being so small and often ignored, asked Jupiter for a powerful gift. She wanted her sting to be very strong, so strong that it could take away life. She thought this would make her important and feared.
But Jupiter didn't like this wish. He thought it was mean and unfair to all the other creatures. He didn't want them to be scared of such a tiny creature. He also didn't want to give so much power to someone who had such an unkind wish.
But Jupiter had promised, so he had to give the Bee something. He told her, "Okay, I will grant your wish, but you must be careful. Your sting will be strong, but if you use it, you will leave it behind and lose your own life."
The Bee was surprised. She had not thought that her wish could also be harmful to her. She realized that wanting to be powerful and feared had almost caused her to lose her own life.
Once upon a time in a buzzing beehive near Jupiter's sky castle—yep, Jupiter's the king of everything—a little Bee thought, "Hmm, how can I impress the Big J?" She decides to make some honey so shiny and golden, it could make the sun blush.
Bee zooms up to Jupiter's big cloud castle, zigzagging through stars and stuff. "Hey, Jupiter! Check this out!" She gives him the pot of honey like she's unveiling a treasure chest.
Jupiter tastes it and is like, "Wow, this is awesome! You can ask for any one thing you want, and it's yours."
Feeling as bold as a lion, Bee says, "Okay, listen. I want my sting to be really strong. Like, superhero strong. I want it to be so strong, it could make someone faint!"
Jupiter makes a funny face, like he just ate a sour grape. "Hmm, that’s kinda mean, don't you think?"
"But you said I could ask for anything!" says Bee, buzzing like a tiny motorboat.
Jupiter lets out a big sigh. "Fine. You get your superhero sting. But watch out: use it once, and you're done for too. It's like throwing a water balloon that's also got glue in it!"
Bee's eyes go wide. "Wait, so I'd be like a one-time wonder? That’s not what I thought."
"See," Jupiter smiles a sneaky smile, "every cool thing has a tricky part. Like getting a giant ice cream but then getting a tummy ache."
Bee thinks really hard for a second, her little wings drooping. "Wow, I almost messed up big time. Being all strong and scary isn’t as fun as it sounds, huh?"
So, Bee zooms back to her hive, feeling a lot wiser. "Who wants to make more awesome honey?"
And that's how Bee figured out that trying to be all big and tough wasn’t really what she wanted, especially if it meant saying bye-bye to her own buzzy life.
Little Bee flew up to the sky,
With honey sweet, she caught Jupiter's eye.
"Thank you, Bee, for this treat so fine,
Ask a wish, any wish can be thine."
"I wish for a sting, both strong and grand,
To be feared and respected across the land."
She buzzed and hummed, with courage in her chest,
Thought being powerful would make her the best.
Jupiter frowned, not happy with the plea,
"A wish like that seems cruel, you see.
I can't let you scare all creatures away,
But a promise is a promise, I have to obey."
"Your wish I'll grant, but listen, dear Bee,
Your sting will be strong, but it comes with a fee.
Use your sting, and you'll pay a cost,
Use it once, and your own life will be lost."
Little Bee paused, her wings aflutter,
Her wish now felt like a thoughtless mutter.
For wanting to be feared, she came to see,
Had almost cost her life, as a tiny bee.
