The Lady Bug and the Bear

In a forest far away Sitting on a tree Was a little lady bug Eating happily Until a bear came along And sat on this tree He flicked the lady bug away As easily as can be The lady bug was angry And went up to the bear And said “why did you flick me off All the way over there?" The bear looked and laughed at him And said “I didn’t see You bugs are much too small And don’t matter to me” The lady bug was hurt And said to the bear “I may be small but I matter And you should really care” The bear just ignored him And kept on eating seeds He filled his belly full up And started on the trees But halfway through eating The bear cried in vain You see he had a seed lodged Which caused him so much pain He asked the other bears To help get the seed But their paws were much too big Something small they would need The bear remembered the lady bug And he was quite small So he asked him to get that seed Out of his aching jaw The bear turned to the lady bug And said “please help me through This seed is much to painful And I need help from you” The lady bug felt sorry For the big old bear So went inside his mouth And released the seed from there The bear was quite thankful And said to the lady bug “Thanks for helping me” And gave him a bear hug Now they all lived in harmony The shared the food around And the lady bug was kept safe Above and on the ground So you see although some are big And some are also small It’s not the size that matters It that heart within us all
