Once upon a time, there was a baby bee named Bobby. He was always buzzing around with his friends, having fun. But there was one problem – Bobby had a very short temper. Whenever he got angry, he would sting his friends, and they would get hurt. Bobby knew he had to learn to manage his anger.
One day, Bobby's wise grandma Bee called him over and said, 'Bobby, remember that as a bee, it is our responsibility to take care of our friends. Stinging them when we are angry only hurts them. You must learn to control your anger.' Bobby listened intently and promised to try.
Bobby decided to practice managing his anger with his friend Benny the Butterfly. They played a game of tag, and whenever Bobby got angry, he would take a deep breath and count to three. This helped him calm down and prevent himself from stinging Benny.
Bobby also learned the power of talking about his feelings instead of lashing out. When his friend Barry accidentally bumped into him, instead of stinging, Bobby said, 'Hey Barry, that hurt! Please be more careful next time.' Barry felt sorry and apologized, and they continued playing happily.
One sunny day, Bobby faced his biggest challenge yet. He accidentally stepped on his friend Bella the Butterfly's favorite flower. Bella looked very upset, and Bobby felt guilty. But instead of getting angry, Bobby apologized sincerely and offered to help Bella plant a new flower. Bella forgave Bobby, and they spent the whole day happily gardening together.
As days went by, Bobby got better and better at managing his anger. His friends noticed the positive change in him, and they all loved playing with him. Bobby had become a responsible and caring bee.
Bobby's grandma Bee was very proud of him. She praised him for taking responsibility for his actions and learning to control his anger. Bobby knew he had made his grandma and his friends proud, and he promised to always make an effort to be the best bee he could be.
