You heard?


The second bee.

Of course!


The third bee.

Thumbelina.

Who are you so scared?

You just do not have the fear of the face.


The first bee.

So, it is you sneeze repeatedly?


Thumbelina.

Oh, Sneezy! Caught in the nose pollen.


The second bee.

Thumbelina.

Pollen! Such a punishment!

The third bee.

After all of it cooked delicious honey!


Fourth bee.

Look, no, look,

Such translated value of nothing.


Thumbelina.

But it's not on purpose, I'm sorry,

Especially since I'm not a bee.


Fifth bee.

Okay, okay, we forgive you,

Here there are a lot of other colors!


Sixth bee.

Our fresh honey quite ready.


Thumbelina.

The first bee.

Well, everybody ready? Flew,

We can not stay here any longer.


The second bee.

You become a real bee.




The third bee.

Hurry!


Fourth bee.

Do not hold!


Fifth bee.

Soar!


Thumbelina.

But I do not have wings on their backs,

I can not fly.


Sixth bee.

Then goodbye!


Bees fly. Thumbelina remains one. I hear a song Beetle.
