Actually, we had been asked in school in the English period to frame a story, based on the outlines given. That morning, I had been studying Science in the morning. And the rest as I say in Chemistry (and not history)!!
THE BEE AND THE DOVE
Once upon a time, exactly 203 years ago, when the spring had showered beauty on the earth (on the Northern Hemisphere only because of the axis of the Earth), a bee was flying in high spirits (used in literary sense here, not alcohol).
In the search for nectar for the queen, it started performing aerodynamic stunts to amuse itself, propelling itself up and down with its wings flapping at a frequency of 50 hertz, sending series of compressions and expansions (sound waves) into the air, which caused a buzzing sound. As it tried to do a double 360 degree flip, it collided with a water lily and because of
As the bee struggled for life, a dove flew past. The dove caught a glimpse of the bee with its same eyes, which it so tactfully uses to catch fish. As soon as the real image of the bee through the convex lens of the dove focussed on the retina and sensory nerves carried the information in the form of electrical impulses to the cerebrum, it decided to help the bee.
It brought a large leaf and dropped it into the tank, so that the leaf would float (since its density is less than that of water; Archimedes’s principle) and the bee would be saved. The act had the desired result. The bee flew away, this time cautiously, thanking the dove in the deep abyss of its heart (not the pumping station, but its soul).
Next it was the turn of the bee to help the dove. As a boy took an aim to hurl a stone at the dove (at around 50 km/hr), the bee got alerted (because of the adrenaline gland, if it has one like humans) and stung the boy, injecting its methanoic acid (a member of carboxylic functional group) causing immense pain to the boy. Thus the dove was saved.
