Two Bees Flew Away Forever


Once there were three bees that planned to steal honey from a nearby colony. They were Mike, Chiwee and Mich. Early morning of the following day, Mike and Chiwee came ready to execute the plan. However, there was no sign of Mich. Quite hesitant at first, the two still pursued the plan and they were victorious. While the two were celebrating, Mich came angered by what had happened. She said that she may have overslept, but as her so-called friends, Mike and Chiwee should have told her to still come. Chiwee and Mike felt bothered. Have they done wrong?

The days gone by and Mich carried her grudge everywhere she goes. She uttered lies to destroy the reputation of her once called friends. She was so mad that it never occurred to her that Mike and Chiwee were more than just her companions- they were her saviors. If she only had recalled the times when she badly needed help and the two were there to back her up. She failed to understand the genuine importance of the two as friends who were willing to sacrifice there own integrity just to secure her own welfare. She has also forgotten the times when she was saved from extreme boredom, when she was supported when she waged war to Tin2 the Ant over a handsome grasshopper, and when she was accompanied her way through other difficulties in life she had endured.

Indolence of one can never be a resolved by reliance on other people. Mike and Chiwee were kind enough to rescue Mich from her miseries over the years, even if they received nothing in return. Mich had never done something real important for the two, even her mere presence does not count. For one, the two were lonesome and hate being intrigued, so they seldom share sentiments with other people. Also, Mich inherently wasn’t able to risk herself over the welfare of others. She was egoistic and such can be manifested even when it comes to food… (She always gets the bigger part).

Mike and Chiwee have had enough. They were jolly bees who need not a person to devote time into. Enough is enough. Mich may scream out loud things that hurt the two. It may scratch them but never break them. For a long time, they were like servants and now the way Mich treats them was even more severe. And so what? If that’s her way of fighting back, then bring it on. Mike and Chiwee will be reserved as always but will never mourn over the lost of their long-time unjust master.

They were free. Happier than ever. They were optimistic. They have fully conceived that to be in a state of genuine belongingness, they have to sacrifice something (or someone). They just did: a decision they would never regret.
