The Bee Sting
By Jennifer Kenny
  

1     Kate and Al were outside. They were having a picnic. They were at the park with their families.
 
2     Kate and Al went on the swings. They went on the slide. They ran around.
 
3     Kate and Al were tired. They went to get some food. They ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They ate some potato chips. They drank some iced tea.
 
4     Kate and Al went to play again.
 
5     "Clean up, you two!" Kate's mom yelled.
 
6     "OK!" Kate yelled back. She picked up her plate. She went to the garbage can. Then she yelled, "Ouch!"
 
7     "What happened?" Kate's mom asked as she ran over to help.
 
8     "I was stung by a bee!"
 
9     Kate's mom took a look. Sure enough there was a stinger in Kate's arm. She had been stung by a yellow jacket bee.
