Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he paid no attention to everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound stopped him.. He looked up to the sky. What he saw frightened him. A huge group of bees filled the sky like dark cloud and seemed to be flying angrily towards him.
