Once upon a time, some wasps (黄蜂) found some delicious honey in a forest. They said it was their honey, but the bees nearby were also sure that the honey was theirs. They     1     louder and louder but could not solve the problem. “We’re good animals. We can’t fight to solve this problem, but we     2     our judge (法官) for help.” said the bees. So they flew to the judge’s house. Their judge is an elephant. The elephant has been a judge for many years, and he     3     many animals in the forest since becoming the judge. All the animals in the forest trust him. He     4     the piano when they came to him for help.

“Judge Elephant, you play so well,” said the wasps. “We all     5     the piece ‘The Little Star’.”

“I played ‘The Lion King’, not the ‘The Little Star’.” the elephant said with a frown (皱眉) and stopped playing.

“We need your help, Judge Elephant,” said the bees. “This morning, we went out     6     honey nearby. When we returned to our honeycomb (蜂巢), we found that the wasps wanted our honey.”

Some witnesses (目击者) came forward. “We saw some yellow and black animals with wings     7     around the honeycomb this morning.” they explained. “We thought they were bees.”

But the wasps immediately replied, “Of course it was us. We’re yellow and black animals with wings.”

The judge could not decide what to do next. Then an old sheep spoke up. “Why not give them a few days to build a honeycomb? Then we     8     whose honey it is.”

When the wasps heard that, they couldn’t help     9    , “That’s not fair.”

The judge soon understood why. The wasps were angry because they couldn’t build a honeycomb and fill it with honey. Now it’s clear that the honey belongs to the bees.

Later, the story     10     to other animals. And they all praised the wisdom of the old sheep and the justice (公平) of the elephant.
