Flowers and Their Friends

How flowers and insects came to need each other, explained to children by a teacher who refused to talk down β€” β€œit would be very stupid indeed to try to read a book written in Arabic,” she begins, so look up every word you don't know.

Morning-Glory Stories (Dear I cannot give you honey)

Dear, I cannot give you honey.

Shall I truly tell you why?

Bees pay better worth than money As they have wings, but you can't fly!

So I coax them with my honey, Feed them with my very best, While their wings bear life to many Waiting in the cradle nest.

For the children of the flowers Need the precious pollen dust, And the bees have winged powers To bear to them this sacred trust.
