THE MONKEY AND THE HONEY BEES

It was a beautiful day. Sun flowers cane sun-bathing while the serene breeze blows gently over the fields. Hence, the bees went busy buzzing as they make their juicy lovely honey. Drones as usual drummed and hummed and as well waxed! Other little bees fanned the hive with their soft wings to cool off the heat.

However, outside the hive, messenger-bees caress the beauteous blossom for nectars. Legs laddered with this sweet substance, they danced back and forth the busy hive. Yet, flowers smiled seductively with exquisite colours still, and exuberance of graceful fragrances. Dangling and flapping, the butterflies perched from one to another checking on the pollens.

Nevertheless, beneath these bridal flushes of the springtide, were other little creatures knitting, tailoring, hunting, gathering, parading or peaceful at a leisurely pace. Moreover, not the soldier ants who are always set in a military array! Today, there seemed to be a prison break. Alarms went up; all were on the alert, trigger-ready to shoot at sight....

Meanwhile, Mottie, the lazy monkey whiled away picking edible leaves while planning to make a bee-line for the bee hive. Yawning and preying through leaves and reeds, he waited till the moon began to smile. The bees would not see me, he said, as Mottie the monkey goes for the honey, he assured himself.

And there dared the daredevil! "Mottie's a man-monkey and Mottie needs some honey!" he recited as he stealthily inserted his curious index finger through the honeycomb. Out came the chilled-honey-coated finger one-two into his q-shaped mouth as he sang, "oh sweetie Mottie honey monkey, monkey honey Mottie sweetie oooh...." Eyes closed in pleasure to the rhythm of his sweet song, while his other fingers walked lyrically round and round his ridiculously protruding tummy. "More fingers ah sweetie Mottie, more honey oh sweetie monkey honey!" he thought, so he inserted all his fingers greedily and nervously into the honey-pie....

Bang! Came one shot on the head. "No way, just a scary dream and am not scared a dime" Mottie explained away. Bang-bang and BANG!!! Came one, two, three and pellets of stings all over the poor monkey. Then he leapt to the sky shrieking and falling like sort of a cluster of cosmic offshoot from the moon.

At once, pebbles of bumps flourished on Mottie's body, but he held so dearly his honeyed-fingers despite the excruciating pains. So, Mottie fell and fell and fell without an attempt of grasping any gangly tree branches for safety. Thereupon, he hit his head severely on something and thereby got paranoiac!

I am not just Mottie no more. He might have climbed up, but a winged Mottie monkey flies down. The only flying monkey, flying down in a butterfly grand upward strokes. I don't want honey anymore, but a barrel of an elephant's milk. I am not a monkey any longer, but a roaring tiger. Don't you see the trees running and speeding away because i am running....

Then came the flop, the last flop indeed that broke the monkey's amnesia. And he banged up the ground and laid still. There Mottie laid still till certain acupunctures instilled a sense of life in him and he woke from his trance heaped like a log of wood floating on a troubled sea. And it was in the deployed camp of the indefatigable soldier ants that he fell in! So, they speared him, butchered him, mobbed him while he was still hypnotized and resolved to bear him home.

However, Mottie woke up a better monkey and sprang off in a feat that even bewildered him. "No more lazy sweetie Mottie honey monkey again" he resolved, "but with the rising sun, i shall rise and be wise. And like the busy honey bees, i shall work for my daily bread and be at leisure with the moon at dusk."


Sparing some seconds starting someone smiling!
