💃The Woman and the Bees.. 🐝🐝
A short moral story.
There was a beautiful young woman who befriended a colony of bees. Every day she would go to the beehive in the forest and give the bees flowers full of sugar and delicious nectar.
The bees loved her very much and loved to play with her. They would hover around her, kiss her, and tell her how she had brightened their day. They deeply appreciated her kindness and generosity.
One evening, as the woman was walking through the forest, a fierce, hungry leopard attacked her. Unable to run and paralyzed with fear, she froze for a moment. Her heart was beating fast, her palms were sweaty, and she was trembling.
In a trembling voice, she pleaded.
"Please don't kill me. I am a beautiful woman who is about to marry a rich sailor. Please give me my life."
The leopard roared at her angrily, then said aggressively.
"I will kill you, I will tear you apart, you coward!"
The woman was so scared that she thought she was going to die. Then she suddenly remembered her bee friends. Suddenly, an idea came to her and she said to the leopard:
"I am a cursed girl with very bitter blood. My blood tastes exactly like coffee. Anyway, if you take me to the beehive, the bees can give you some honey to sweeten my blood."
The leopard thought for a moment and said impatiently.
"Okay! Now let's go."
The woman and the leopard went to the beehive, which was a short distance away. However, the moment the woman saw her friend's colony, she screamed for help. The bees all rushed out and attacked the leopard, biting him mercilessly, until he screamed and ran away a long way.
The bees saved the generous woman from the ferocious leopard and returned with her to her village. However, the leopard recovered from the pain after a few months, but the bee stings left black spots all over her skin, and the spots never went away.
When you do good to others, you may not get immediate rewards for your actions, but you will get them someday. Be kind to all people, share love with everyone, and forgive your enemies. It can help you achieve positive results in the future.

Persephone's Porch
"Circe, for Chrissakes, put Cerberus on his leash to keep him off the porch. I don't need him dragging three sets of drooling jowls across it when the nymphs just cleaned." Persephone pulled her blonde hair back and tied it in a loose knot to keep it off her face. "I can't believe Hermes is bringing the whole famdamnily."
