If I stayed under cover whenever the sun didn't shine, the orchard would soon be overrun with insects." Now, it happened that Buster Bumblebee was sipping nectar from a head of clover near by. Of course, he wasn't listening to what Mrs. Ladybug and Miss Moth were saying. But he couldn't help hearing their remarks. And being a great admirer of Betsy Butterfly, he wasn't at all pleased.
Ladybug said: "Wouldn't you like to come with me while I look for Betsy?" "I must go home now, thank you!" said Mehitable. And she hurried away without another word. But Jennie Junebug spoke up at once and said she would be delighted to accompany Mrs. Ladybug. "Really," Jennie confided to her companion, "it's a good thing to have backs as hard and slippery as yours and mine.
But she simply couldn't forgive Betsy Butterfly for being so beautiful. And now Mrs. Ladybug began to neglect her children more than ever, in order to spy upon Betsy in the hope of discovering some new fault in her. Betsy Butterfly soon noticed that wherever she went she was sure to see Mrs. Ladybug, who had a way of bobbing up in a most startling fashion.
Buster knew of an old tune called "The Bumblebee in the Pumpkin," and he cried with some heat that he could think of no reason why there shouldn't be "A Ladybug in a Pumpkin." "I told you my house was big the biggest one on the farm," Mrs. Ladybug reminded him. "Ah!" Chirpy Cricket exclaimed. "Now I know! You're going to live in the haystack.
Ladybug couldn't help noticing the dust on his wings. "They're certainly a peculiar lot that Butterfly family!" she muttered. AFTER Mrs. Ladybug failed in her attempt to brush the dust off Betsy Butterfly she grew more jealous of Betsy than ever. It was really a shame that Mrs. Ladybug should feel like that. Usually she was quite harmless, even if she was a busybody and a gossip.
When Freddie Firefly saw that Mrs. Ladybug was making Benjamin Bat's mistake of thinking that his light could start a blaze, he had to smile. "Nonsense!" he cried. "I'm always very careful, Mrs. Ladybug, when I'm near your house. You know that I wouldn't want your charming children to burn up." And now Mrs. Ladybug pointed her other knitting needle at Freddie.
Ladybug glared at him and exclaimed: "Never mention her to me again!" JENNIE JUNEBUG was a frolicsome fat person. And she was a great joker. The joke that she loved most was this: she loved to bump into people that were flying through the air to bump into them and knock them, spinning, upon the ground.
Then she stole forth from her hiding place, showing a battered face to her friends. "Good-by, everybody!" she called. "I'm going to move. I'm going 'way down to the end of the valley to live.... I'm off already," she added, as she spread her wings. Nobody ever saw Jennie Junebug on Farmer Green's place again. And Mrs. Ladybug was more than satisfied.
"Not at all!" replied Daddy Longlegs cheerfully, to the great surprise of all those present. "I have seven legs left; and that ought to be enough for anybody. I should think." But little Mrs. Ladybug couldn't help shuddering. "I think it's just too dreadful!" she cried. "Johnnie Green is a very careless boy." "Oh, he didn't mean any harm, I know," Daddy Longlegs assured her.
Ladybug was not always as pleasant as she might have been. Moreover, she was something of a busybody and too fond of prying into the affairs of others. And if she didn't happen to approve of her neighbors, or their ways, Mrs. Ladybug never hesitated to speak her mind. When she first appeared on Farmer Green's place, wearing her bright red gown with its black spots, everyone supposed that Mrs.
