THE DANCING LADY BUG

Most mothers love flowers, but Alice’s mother adored them. During the months of spring she placed her plants in prepared soil. When summer arrived the elegant assorted flowers would set off her front yard. Alice and her classmate Tern enjoyed the colorful sweet-scented blossoms. When they played the hide- and-seek, one of their hiding areas was behind the flowers.

 

One day Alice played the game with her three-year-old brother Joey. She had hidden near a wide leaf plant. She discovered a two-inch reddish-spotted beetle clinging under a leaf. She removed it from the leaf and placed it in the palm of her left hand. "Joey," she shouted. "Look what I have found!"

 

"It’s a big bug," said Joey.

 

"Of course, it’s a ladybug" she told him.

 

"A lady bug?" he asked. "Let’s find a man bug."

 

"You’re silly," giggled Alice. "There aren’t any."

 

"I found a lady bug," Alice told her mother, holding it in her hand.

 

"It’s a big beautiful bug," said her mother. AI haven’t seen many that size.

Everyday Alice sat and played with the bug. She placed the beetle on her left hand fingertips. She enjoyed the ticklish feeling when it crawls, toward her wrist.

 

One day she decided to sing a song’ to the ladybug. "La la la la-a-a. You’re a cute little lady tug, la la la la-a-a." The bug stood on its little hind legs and bounced its little body from one side to the other.

 

"This is unreal. It dances," said Alice. She rushed into the house. "Look, Mother, I sang and it danced, she demonstrated.

 

"Oh my goodness that’s fantastic!" said her mother. "You’ve found a dancing lady bug."

"A dancing lady bug?" asked Joey. "Let’s find a dancing man bug."

 

Alice told her classmate Tern about the dancing spotted beetle. "That’s nonsense. You must be kidding," said Tend.

 

"If you walk home with rue after school, I’ll show you," Alice told her nine-year-old classmate Tern.

 

After the girls arrived, they went directly to the beautiful yard of flowers.

 

"This green wide-leaf plant is its home." And this is its favorite leaf." Alice said as she begins her search. She care­fully searched the plant and looked under each leaf. She couldn’t find the ladybug. It was gone. "Its around here somewhere," said Alice, trying not to worry.

 

Tern just folded her arms and stood waiting. "Come help me search," asked Alice.

 

"Help you search, for something that doesn’t exist? You are insane,” snapped Tern. "There was never a dancing lady bug. You were just pretending."

 

"It does exist, and I am not insane, Alice said, sobbing. - "

 

"I'll tell the whole class about your stupid dancing lady bug story," threaten Tern.

 

Alice ran into the house, "Mother, Mother," she cried. "I can’t find my dancing lady bug. It has disappeared. I’ll never see it again.

 

"Darling, don’t panic. It’s all right. I’ll help you locate the talented beetle," her mother said calmly.

 

After a short search her mother said, "There it is." It had crawled over to the next plant.

 

Alice sighed with relief. "Thanks, mother." She walked toward her classmate Tern, "I found it. I found it.

"I- must see this to believe it," said Tern.

 

Alice sang "La la la la-a-a you’re a cute little lady bug, la la Ia la-a-a." Again the dancing beetle stood on its little hind legs and bounced its little body from one side to the other.

 

"Now what do you have to say for yourself?" Alice asked her classmate Tern, with her hands on her hips.

 

"Unbelievable, but true I am sorry I doubted you," said Tern.

 

"I am too," said Alice.

 

"Now is it okay if I tell the class about your dancing lady bug?" asked Tern.

 

 

"Certainly" answered Alice. "You can also tell the class that I’ll never let it get away again."
