STORY TITLE: BUZZ
In the garden, a little bee named Buzz learned he was afraid to fly high. His friend, Lily the ladybug, showed him how by fluttering up with courage. “See? It’s fun!” she laughed. Buzz tried, flapping his tiny wings, and soon, they were soaring together, high above the flowers. Buzz learned that with a little help and bravery, he could do anything. They spent the day exploring the garden from the sky, happy in their new adventure. Buzz wasn’t afraid anymore.
