Picture05 "Since there are all these flowers, I can bring back nectar any time I want."

Puru-chan selects the flower closest to the sun and lies down on the soft pedals.
Lying on a petal hammock is like floating on a cloud,
Gently swaying...
Gently swaying...
Taking a nap in the breeze.








Puru-chan wakes up with a yawn.
Aaaaaah...

Something is wrong.
The air smells different, too.

"Oh, no! Honeybee!! What shall I do?"

Picture07 Puru-chan doesn't even know that she has a stinger in her tail.
Why is Bunny so frightened?

"Calm down! I won't do anything to you."
Puru-chan remembers the honeybee dance the teacher bee taught her.
She starts to dance.
Wagging her tail, she traces a figure eight.
As Bunny is about the run away, the sound of music comes from her radio.








The music matches Puru-chan's dance perfectly.
What fun!
Now Bunny smiles and joins in.
Hop, hop, hop ... she's got it!
Bunny and Puru-chan start dancing together.
