On a beautiful meadow, a bee was busy pollinating flowers and working hard for her hive. As she was getting bored and tired, she decided to take a break in a flower. Suddenly, she noticed a bumblebee nearby.

She really wanted to approach him, but she was nervous and scared, thinking he might be evil. After some time, she gathered up the courage to go and talk to him. As she was coming closer, she was still nervous, but then she realized he was friendly, so they started talking.

''What's your name?'' asked the bee.

''My name is Adam. What's yours?'' asked Adam.

''My name is Amanda. What are you doing here?''

 ''I'm just passing through the meadow. How about you?''

''I'm pollinating flowers for my hive. How are you?''

"Well, I'm really lonely. I've been traveling alone for a long time," replied Adam.

"I'm sad to hear that. If you want, you can stay here and we can spend time together," offered Amanda.

They got along with each other, so Adam decided to stay at the meadow for a while. They started to play tag together.

After playing tag for a while, they took a break and then decided to play hide-and-seek. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bad idea. Amanda was the first one to hide. She decided to hide in the forest because she couldn't find a good spot near the meadow. She went deeper into the forest.

When Adam started searching, he was surprised at how well Amanda had hidden. Hours passed, and he was unable to find her, so he decided to give up. He called out for Amanda, but she didn't answer. He thought she was just joking with him and wasn't worried. As night approached, he heard a noise from the forest. It sounded like yelling, but he decided to investigate in the morning, even though he could hear the yelling throughout the night.

As Amanda was hiding in the forest, she got bored because she didn't even hear Adam near her. But when she wanted to go back to the meadow, she couldn't find her way back. She tried to fly above the trees, but she still couldn't see the meadow. So she started screaming for Adam.

When morning came, Adam decided to head into the forest in the direction of the yelling he had heard all night. Since Amanda still hadn't come back to the meadow, he was worried. When he approached the place where the screams were coming from, he prayed that Amanda was there. And as he got closer, he saw her sleeping on some leaves.
