Bruce thinks of climbing a tree but bees can fly and find him, so he doesn�t climb a tree. He thinks to hide behind a big tree but the bees can see him, so he doesn�t hide behind the big tree.

He doesn�t know what to do. Where can he hide from the bees? Bruce is very, very tired and thirsty and hungry. Then he sees a little lake in the distance. It is deep and the water looks dark and black. He runs as fast as he can and jumps. He lands with a big SPLASH in the water. Brrrrrr, it is very, very cold. He floats and sees the bees coming to the lake. So he swims under the water and swims to the other side of the lake where the bees can�t see him.
