Little Bee, Little Ladybird and Bumble Have Hope

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Oh this is a very tall tree, Little Bee!"

 

LITTLE BEE: "It is, Little Ladybird."

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "I am not used to flying so high. I usually fly close to Bumble."

 

LITTLE BEE: "Don't be scared, Little Ladybird. You are with me, and I will keep you safe in the air, just as Bumble keeps you safe on the ground."

 

LITTLE LADYBORD: "You will, Little Bee?"

 

LITTLE BEE: "Of course, Little Ladybird! You are my special friend, and you and Bumble came to my aid when I was lost and alone! I love you, Little Ladybird!"

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Gosh! That is so lovely of you!" *Blushes pink beneath black and white mohair plush.* "I love you too, Little Bee. You are the best friend anybear could have... along with Bumble of course!"

 

LITTLE BEE: "Of course!"

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Why have you flown so far up this tree, Little Bee?"

 

LITTLE BEE: "Well, for a start, the flowers at the top of the tree make the sweetest honey. But also, after finding the Ladybird Bush that I recognised..."

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: *Giggles.*

 

LITTLE BEE: "I thought we might be close to Daddy's house and this tree provides a great vantage point!"

 

BUMBLE: *Scrambles up into the tree.* "Hullo you two! What are you up to?"

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Hullo Bumble! I love you!" *Gives Bumble a soft Little Ladybird kiss.*

 

BUMBLE: "I love you too, Little Ladybird." *Gives Little Ladybird a snuffly kiss.* "And you too, Little Bee."

 

LITTLE BEE: "I love you too, Bumble, and as I was just saying to Little Ladybird, I thought this would be a good vantage point to see if I can see Daddy's garden from here."

 

BUMBLE: "Well, it is certainly high enough, Little Bee."

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "And can you see, Daddy's garden, Little Bee?"

 

LITTLE BEE: *Looks carefully all around, then pauses and rubs eyes.*

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Oh! Do you have some dust in your eyes, Little Bee!" *Raises paw to mouth.*

 

LITTLE BEE: "No... but I think I see it!"

 

BUMBLE: "See what, Little Bee?"

 

LITTLE BEE: "Daddy's garden, Bumble!" *Excited.* "I think I see Daddy's garden!"

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Really, Little Bee?"

 

BUMBLE: "Where, Little Bee?"

 

LITTLE BEE: "Over there! Points paw in an easterly direction. "Do you see all that flowering jasmine and wisteria?"

 

BUMBLE: "I do!"

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Oh it is so pretty, Little Bee!"

 

LITTLE BEE: "Well, Daddy has a big hedge made up of jasmine and wisteria that runs the entire length of his garden!" *More excited.*

 

BUMBLE: "Well that is certainly a hedge of jasmine and wisteria, and it runs the length of the garden!" "Hopeful.* "That's a very positive sign."

 

LITTLE LADYBIRD: "Oh how wonderful, Little Bee!" *Claps paws and flaps little ladybird wings in excitement.* "Our journey may soon be over!"

 

LITTLE BEE: "Come on Bumble and Little Ladybird! Let's see if we can't get there today!"

 

BUMBLE: "It still looks quite far away, but we can try, Little Bee!"
