Once upon a time, there was a tiny insect named Buzz who lived in a big jungle. Buzz loved to fly around and collect pollen from different plants to fertilize them. But one day, he found out that some of the plants were not producing enough pollen because a mean parasite was eating all the nutrients.

Buzz knew that all species in the jungle were interdependent, meaning they needed each other to survive. So, he decided to take action and find a way to rid the jungle of the parasite.

He searched high and low for a solution and finally found a refuge for the vulnerable plants. The plants were safe from the parasite and soon began to produce plenty of pollen once again.

Buzz was very happy as he collected the pollen from the plants and spread it around the jungle, helping all the species thrive. And from that day on, the jungle was a much happier place, and Buzz was known as the hero of the jungle. The end.

3. What does "interdependent" mean in the story?
4. Why was Buzz considered the hero of the jungle?
5. How did the plants benefit from Buzz's actions in the end?
