One day as she was buzzing about she

noticed a group of passing butterflies. Theyre

gorgeous! she thought to herself. Look at thosebeautiful wings, with so many different colors. I

wish I were as beautiful as they are.Velvet looked at her wings andthought they didnt look nearly as

pretty. Who would want to be a

bee anyway? she muttered to

herself.

Certo dia, ela voava zumbindo

por a quando reparou num grupo

de borboletas. Que lindas! Pensouconsigo mesma. Olha s aquelaslindas asas, de tantas cores

diferentes. Quem me dera ser tolinda como elas!

Veludinha olhou para as suas asas e no

as achou nem de longe to bonitas. Quem ia

querer ser uma abelha? murmurou consigo

mesma.

Her friend, Leon, noticed that she was

looking glum. Why are you sad, Velvet?

Leon asked.

Its nothing, she

replied, and then

buzzed off.

For the rest of the

morning, Velvet had

a pout on her face.

All the other bees

wondered what was

the matter with her

when it was such a

lovely morning, and

they had found

excellent flowers for

collecting nectar.

Leon tried to cheer

her up, but Velvet

told him that shed rather be left alone.

Seu amigo Leon reparou que ela parecia

cabisbaixa. Por que voc est triste,

Veludinha?

perguntou Leon.

Nada,

no , respondeu

ela e saiu zunindo.

Durante o resto

daquela manh,

Veludinha estava

carrancuda. Todas

as outras abelhas

se perguntavam

qual era o

problema com ela

numa manh tolinda, e elas tinham

encontrado timas

flores de onde

coletar o nctar. Leon tentou anim-la, mas

Veludinha lhe disse que queria ficar s.

At midday they heard the sound of

children laughing. Some of the bees went to

the entrance of the beehive to see what was

happening. A family had come to have a

picnic under the

tall tree. Themother was

spreading out the

blanket, the

father was

unloading the

picnic basketfrom the car, and

the kids were

playing nearby.

Velvet decided

to have a closer

look, so she flewdown from the

hive, and sat on a

branch. She watched the children play, and

when the family sat under the tree to have

their picnic, she flew closer to have a better

look.

Ao meio-dia ouviram o som de crianas

rindo. Algumas das abelhas foram entrada da

colmia ver o que acontecia. Uma famlia

viera fazer um piquenique debaixo da rvore

grande. A me

colocava umpano no cho, o

pai tirava a cesta

do carro e as

crianas

brincavam ali

perto.Veludinha

decidiu observar

mais de perto,

ento saiu

voando da

colmia e sesentou num

galho. L

observou as crianas brincarem, e quando a

famlia feliz se sentou debaixo da sombra da

rvore para o piquenique, ela voou ainda

mais para perto.

Just then the little boy saw Velvet. Look, everyone, theres a bee! he said pointing at

Velvet. I wonder if theres a bee hive nearby.

Its up in the tree, over there, said the father.

I think bees look like little fairies in a striped costume, the little girl said.

Did you know that the honey on your sandwich comes from bees? the father asked.

Uh-huh! said the little boy. And bees can even make honey taste different,

if they get the nectar from different flowers.

Thats right, said the father. God made each creature

special and unique in its own way.

Naquele momento o garotinho viu Veludinha. Olhem,pessoal! Uma abelha! disse ele apontando para Veludinha. Ser que tem uma colmia aqui perto?

Est l naquela rvore, disse o pai. Acho as abelhas parecidas com pequenas fadas

vestidas de listras, disse a garotinha.

Sabiam que o mel de nossos sanduches vem dasabelhas? perguntou o pai.

Sim! disse o garotinho. E as abelhas sabemat dar sabores diferentes ao mel, se tirarem nctarde diferentes flores.

Isso mesmo, disse o pai. Deus fez

cada criatura de modo especial e nico.

I wish I could make honey, the little girl said.

Well, God gave that job to the bees, explained the

father. He made you just as you are, special in your

own way too, with your gifts and talents.

Velvet thought on what the father had said. I guess

that means God loves me just the way I am, she said to

herself. And Im special to Him. Im sorry, God, for not

being thankful for how You made me. Thank You for all

the things I can do, and that I can be helpful, and make

others happy too.

Quem me dera pudssemos produzir mel, disse a garotas.

que este trabalho Deus deu s abelhas explicou o pai. Ele criou cada um como somos, cadaum especial sua prpria maneira, com seus dons etalentos.

Veludinha pensou no que o pai tinha dito: Acho

que isso significa que Deus me ama da maneira quesou, disse ela consigo mesma. E sou especial pra Ele.

Sinto muito, Deus, por no estar agradecida pelamaneira como Voc me fez. Obrigada por todas ascoisas que posso fazer, como posso ser til e tambm

fazer os outros felizes.

Moral: Though each person is different,

God has made each one of us special in

some way.

Moral: Embora todos sejam

diferentes, Deus dei algo especial a

cada um de vocs.
