A driver had to stop his car soon after he started from a country village to drive to London. He heard a strange noise from the back of the car, so he got out to have a look. He examined(检查) the wheels carefully but as he found nothing wrong, he continued his way. The noise began almost immediately and now it was louder than ever. The driver quickly turned his head, and he saw a great black cloud following the car. When he stopped at the next village, he was told a queen bee must be hidden in his car as there were thousands of bees nearby.

On hearing this, the man realized that the only way to escape would be to drive away as quickly as possible. After an hour’s driving, he arrived in London, where he stopped his car outside a hotel and went in to have a drink. It was not long before a customer who had seen him arrive hurried in to tell him that the car was covered with bees. The poor driver telephoned the police and explained what had happened. The police decided that the best way to do with the situation would be to call a bee-keeper. In a short time, the bee-keeper arrived. He found the unexpected passenger hidden near the wheels at the back of the car. Very thankful to the driver for his unexpected gift, the bee-keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box. Equally(平等地) thankful, the driver drove away in peace.
