Oh my God! I see my poem here! Ma'am must have sent it to the newspaper. I never thought I could find my name in a newspaper someday. Look! The title of my poem is Busy Bee.

Mili: Wow! A poem? Let me recite it.

Busy Bee

I ran to the garden
To catch a busy bee,
It 'll sting', said mother
Let it fly free.
 
It moves very gently
It makes a lovely sound,
How can such a lovely thing
Sting me when I'm around?
