One day I went to Bandung with my friend for a vacation. We went there on night bus.
When we arrived in Cianjur, the bus stopped for a rest.
I got off the bus to get a cup of coffee, but my friend didnt. He went to a mosque to
pray. It took only a few minutes to pray, but when I came out again the bus was not there. It
had gone! Shocked and confused. I asked the shopkeeper about the bus. She said that the
bus had departed about five minutes ago.
I tried to call my friend on my cell phone, but the battery was running low. I couldnt do
anything but hope and pray. After several minutes, my wish came true. The bus came back! I
got on the bus and walked to my seat. I was so ashamed when everybody on the bus looked
at me. I could feel my face turned red.
I asked my friend why she didnt tell the driver that I was still outside.

Bees fly from flower to flower, sipping nectar and collecting grains of
pollen. Bees have a special tongue that sucks up the nectar and a crop
in their throat for storing it until they get back to the hive, where it is
turned into honey to use as food.
Many plants depend on bees to spread pollen, helping them to reproduce. Flowers that
attract bees are usually yellow, blue, or purple. Many bees specialize in one plant species. In
areas where different flowering plants bloom at the same time, this keeps different bee
species from fighting over the same flower!
Honeybees and bumblebees live in colonies or hives. All the bees in the colony work together
for the good of the hive. Each has a job to do: the queen lays the eggs and the workers build
the honeycomb, care for the larvae and collect the food.
