Kelsey was in kindergarten. Believe me when I say this, she loved it. She loved her teacher. She loved her new friends. She loved walking to school. SHE LOVED IT!
But, there was a boy at school who she was scared to death of, not that he had done anything to her. He just plain looked mean and tough and bad. The kind of "bad boy" a nice girl would go for, even in kindergarten.
One day, at recess, Kelsey decided to take a rest on the wall. She laid down and closed her eyes and soaked up the sunny day. The way she relates the story is that she felt someone touch the back of her neck while she was resting. She jumped up and there was "Sandy" standing right beside her and staring right into her eyes. Without saying a word he showed her his hand, tightly gripped in a fist, and ever so gently opened it up and released a small honey bee. He then walked away without saying a word.
Kelsey was never afraid of Sandy again. He had saved her from a certain bee sting.
