Fraxinella
Deep inside the thorny stockade Fraxinella heard all the
commotion. She tried to call out, too, but she knew she would never
be heard above all the raucous roses. Meanwhile, Apis had made a
complete circuit around the roses without any success. They were
making so much noise that he became irritated.
“No,” yelled the bee. And the roses, shocked at this outburst, fell
silent. “I don’t want any of you! I want a gas plant! One that
somehow looked like a rosebush this morning. Is she in there?”
