The teddy bear always boasted of his intelligence and timing. He never tried hard for anything, but the truth is, he lived very easily. Everything seemed to fall from the sky into his hands. Malicious and shameless, he amused himself by making his friends and neighbors jealous.
“When I see you sweating to feed and dress, I want to laugh. I can't help it! How simple it is to live! You need to eat? So, reach out your paw and grab the most appetizing thing you can find. And so it must be with everything.
Always looking for new facilities, the little bear discovered, with his good luck, a beautiful hive full of honey. Hundreds of beautiful bees worked tirelessly to make this delicacy. But the teddy bear didn't even think about it. With no weight on his conscience, very happy with himself for being so smart, he took advantage of each carelessness of the bees to feast.
— Oh! Oh! Oh! What idiots are these bees! They work hard and then let their honey be stolen! Hmm! How delicious! - exclaimed the glutton between one lick and another.
The bees, admired at first, seeing the honey disappear as if by magic, decided to keep an eye on the hive. It didn't take long to discover the mischievous teddy bear, making the usual swipe. So they agreed to teach him a lesson. The next morning, in hiding, they waited for the teddy bear to arrive.
Thinking that the hive was deserted again, the teddy bear threw himself on it, ready to gather the tasty honey. Suddenly, all the bees rushed at him at once, furious. They gave him so many stings that he, lumpy and swollen, ran screaming through the woods.
The lesson paid off. The teddy bear never took possession of other people's goods again.
