Rico opened the box and their beloved instruments were all there. They did not notice Oliver flying off into the woods.

As Oliver was returning the key he noticed that Rico was also holding a key of about the same size. “Is there any chance that I could borrow that key that you have in your hand?” asked Oliver. Rico said that he didn’t think that Bob would mind as long as the key was brought back soon.

They exchanged keys and Rico went to open the box.

“The water was calm enough when they set off but then a wave overturned their canoe. Being good swimmers they could easily right their canoe but they were unable to find the key which had sunk to the bottom of the lake.”

“The key I’m looking for hasn’t been seen since two frogs were transporting it in a canoe.”

“I’m sorry I borrowed your key without asking. I thought that it might have been a key that I’ve been looking for for a long time.”

Once the bee flew away Oliver arrived with a key in his hand. He had been waiting in a nearby tree.

“The reason he flies away is because he is afraid of bees” said Sheila. ‘That would explain why he didn’t come back because there have been bees here all day.  Maybe if you all leave he would come back.”

The bee could not understand how anyone could be afraid of her and wanted to stay and collect more pollen. Because Sheila was her friend she agreed reluctantly to fly away to the next meadow.
