Bee Attack! (Composition 1 by Adrianna)

It was a bright and cheerful morning . Andy was making his way to school as usual on his bicycle . On the way to school , he felt tired from cycling and decided to stop under a big shady tree for a sip of water and some shade . As it was still too early to go to school , and his friends usually arrive much later , he decided to sit below the tree to hide from the sun . He looked up and saw a bee hive and tapped it ….. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky , buzzing angrily towards him . With no time to waste , Andy hopped onto to his bike and sped off in an opposite direction , not knowing where he was heading to or what he was doing . On a nearby hill , he spotted the chimney of the Nelson’s family home and decided to make a ‘beeline’ straight towards it . Andy raced over the wooden bridge that led him to the Nelson’s home . Andy was travelling as fast as he could to get away from the bees but the bees were slowly catching up . As he began to work his way up the hill towards the Nelson family home , the bees caught up to him . Andy felt the sharp pricks like needles piercing his uncovered arms . Suddenly , out of the corner of his eye , he spotted a well used by Mr Nelson to irrigate his orchard and vegetable garden . Without hesitation , Andy jumped off his bike and into the cool water he plunged , disappearing from the savage insects . After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy slowly came up for a gasp of air , hoping that those bees were gone . Fortunately , the bees had moved on . He dragged himself out of the well , got back onto his bike , and struggled up the remainder of the steep slope . He finally arrived at the Nelson’s home’s doorstep . He rang the doorbell and immediately , Mrs Nelson opened the door . She was shocked to see Andy soaked to the skin and looking like a swollen tomato . Mrs Nelson brought Andy in and prepared a hot drink for him . Then she applied some soothing cream on his swollen arms .Mrs Nelson rang Andy’s mother up and told her about the bees and that Andy was in her house . About ten minutes later, Andy’s mother came and picked him up . They thanked Mrs Nelson and made their way back home. After this incident , Andy never dared go near a tree with bee hives again .
