Mr. Bumblebee flies home

Gay Bryant Flatt

I was sitting in my garden room on a warm, sunny morning when a big bumblebee flew inside. He was in, but he wanted to be out. He was searching and searching for a way to fly back outdoors. I opened the window wider, along with the patio door into the garden, and tried to show him where to go. 

But he ignored me and continued to buzz against a window pane. He didn’t seem to know to look for another way. So I decided to leave him alone. I hoped he would find his way out soon.

But that night, the bumblebee was still there. Again I tried to help him find the open door or window. I was afraid he was getting tired from buzzing and buzzing, and I really wanted him to fly back home.
