Why Can't You Play with Bees!
"Elsa, they have stripes for Pete's sake," retorted Cameron, "you're not supposed to like them. They're BEEEEEEES Elsa, Beeeeeeees They can sting you They're dangerous " Cameron was Elsa's practical, older sister and quite concerned about the bees living in the honeysuckle hidden hive placed in a discreet backyard corner of their urban, Nebraska home.
Against her better judgement, Elsa takes her older sister's advice and avoids her friendship with the backyard bees. Though Elsa's mother reminds her daughters, our family does not discriminate based on hate, the girls decide to shun the backyard bees (their friends), based on the bi-color of their fuzz, the danger of their tails and the fact that bees use a native language other than English.
When peer pressure, bias and stereotypes are involved, the question in the end is always the same-do you continue the fear and discrimination against the backyard bees when the life of a loved one sways in the balance or do you use what's left of your damaged friendship to ask for help to save Grandpa Roger? There is no greater misfortune than having an enemy of your own making. There is no greater gift than forgiveness.
