Beautiful RCat! And what a gallant you were in offering to risk the sting to rescue her arm... I have so many cherished memories like this with my kids and grandson. They make life worth living in sooooo many ways.

Quite a story. Suspense, plot, and cool conclusion. All so succinctly in one poem!

From sweet to silly, pleasing all ages. I really enjoyed this, RCat!

I do love this piece, it's story to simple yet so all encompassing...just lovely lesson and moment captured...I enjoy the humor to the end also...though I might suggest the use of the word Asian instead of Oriental, as that word is quite dated and offensive to some, since it generally refers to objects, not people...

Congrats on POTD! Always a pleasure to read this one!

What a delight to find this as POTD. Congratulats!
p.s.
It's still reads as skillfully and is as amusing now as it was when I first read it.
