Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Benny. Benny was feeling sad because he was sick. He was also afraid of getting worse, and felt bored because he couldn't play with his friends. On top of that, he was hungry and tired.

As Benny was lying in bed, feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly heard a knock at the door. When he opened it, he saw a big basket of honey! He was so surprised that he forgot all about being sick, tired, and hungry.

Benny was now excited and happy as he started to eat the honey. But just as he was about to take a big bite, he heard a loud buzzing noise. A bee had flown into the room! Benny was angry at first, but then he realized that the bee just wanted to share the honey with him.

Benny and the bee became fast friends and spent the day playing and eating honey together. By the end of the day, Benny was so tired and sleepy that he fell asleep with a big smile on his face.

And from that day on, whenever Benny felt sad, sick, or afraid, he would remember his new friend the bee and smile. The end.
