The Bumble Bee and the Butterfly

The Bumble Bee and the Butterfly were having a conversation.

“What do you think about human beings?” asked one,

“I don’t know, it seams like they don’t appreciate naturalism or life itself,” mused the other.

“Humans are more concerned with the material world, with their things. They don’t appreciate our colors,” said the Bumble Bee.

“But I LOVE our flowers and colors — and the wind that keeps me afloat!” gushed the Butterfly.

The Bumble Bee said, “Y’know, we have a lot in common.”

The Butterfly said “Woah, woah, woah, woah-woah. What do you really love in life?” asked the Butterfly, shocked.

“I just love colors,” said the Bumble Bee.

“Me too,” said the Butterfly. “I think I’m beautiful! What do you really love the most?”

“Flowers,” the Bee said wistfully.

They could both agree on that.

“I pollinate ‘em,” said the Bee.

“And they make a great seat!” said the Butterfly.

Through the course of their conversation, they realized that human beings have lost their basic respect and appreciation for nature and other beings.

The Bee got angry about this one day.

But the Butterfly calmed him down, saying, “I just fly away from ‘em man. Stay outta their ignorant way.”

“We’re simple creatures, but we’re naturalists,” they agreed.

The Bee and the Butterfly are doing the human beings a favor, just by the nature of their existence.

“That’s why we’re so beautiful,” said the Butterfly.

“Yep,” said the Bee, “I’d choose to be a simple bee any day.”
