MAYA THE BEE
I think, your experiences, all the things you have learned, will be made to serve the greatest good of your people and your country.”
Cheers of approval greeted the queen’s words.
So ends the story of the adventures of Maya the bee. They say her work contributed greatly to the good and welfare of the nation, and she came to be highly respected and loved by her people. Sometimes on quiet evenings she went for a brief hour’s conversation to Cassandra’s peaceful little room, where the ancient dame lived now on pension honey. There Maya told the young bees, who listened to her eagerly, stories of the adventures which we have lived through with her.
