STUNG BY HORNET

Ah Fatt, the naughty boy, was out hunting birds with his catapult. He saw a bird sitting on a tree branch.

He took aim with his catapult and released the shot. The pebble missed the bird but struck a hornet's nest that was above trhe bird.

The force of the pebble hitting the nest was dislodged from the branch. It fell to the ground near where Ah Fatt was standing. Ah Fatt gasped in horror. The disturbed hornets began to attack him!

Ah Fatt ran for his life. The hornets were all around him, stinging him in many places. He yelled in pain as he ran but yet the hornets chased stung him.

Luckily for Ah Fatt, there was a stream nearby. Quickly he jumped straight into it and submerged himself so that the hornets could not get at him.

For a while the hornets hovered around.THen they flew away.

Later, Ah Fatt emerged from the river. His body was aching from the stings he received. He had learnt his lesson. It is much better to listen to a bird singing that try to kill it for fun.
