Barry the Bee's Achoo Adventure
Barry the Bee loved sunny days. He loved to fly around and collect nectar from flowers. But Barry had a secret. He had hay fever! That means he was allergic to flowers.
One sunny morning, Barry woke up. He wanted to collect nectar. He flew to a big red flower. "Achoo!" Barry sneezed. Petals flew everywhere.
Barry flew to a yellow flower. "Achoo! Achoo!" Two big sneezes! More petals flew away. Barry felt sad. He wanted to help his hive, but he couldn't stop sneezing.
A wise old bee saw Barry. She said, "Barry, I have an idea! Let’s find flowers that don't make you sneeze."
They flew to a field of green clovers. Barry touched a clover. He didn't sneeze! "Hooray!" he shouted. Barry collected nectar from the clovers. He flew back to the hive, happy to help. Now, Barry only visits the clover patch. No more sneezes!
