The story begins with a boy and his father who were, on a beautiful spring afternoon, driving down a country road. Their tranquility was interrupted when a bee flew in the car window. The little boy, allergic to bee stings, was understandably afraid. No, he was terrified. Without hesitation dad quickly reached out, grabbed the bee, squeezed it in his hand and tried to toss it out the window. The wind blew the bee right back in. The boy started crying, all over again. Once more the father reached out his hand, but this time he showed the bee’s stinger stuck in his palm. "Look,” he said, “Do you see this? You don't need to be afraid anymore. I've taken the sting for you."
