28、he last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, dont panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”O(jiān)n a nearby hill, he could see smoke w

29、aving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees dont like smoke,” he thought. “They couldnt get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground.

30、th him soon.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden.

31、 up for air and noticed the bees has gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“Youll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didnt pan

36、ee. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (資) of the government.
