The Magical Mirror and the Busy Bee
Barnaby Bumble was a very busy bee. He loved buzzing around his garden, collecting pollen, and making honey. But Barnaby also loved playing with his friends and helping his mom in their hive. There simply weren't enough hours in the day to do everything he wanted! One sunny morning, while exploring a forgotten corner of the garden, Barnaby stumbled upon a sparkly, old mirror. As he peered into it, a strange thing happened. Another Barnaby, an exact copy of him, popped out of the glass! This new Barnaby, whom they called Barnaby Two, also wanted to help. Now, there were two bees doing chores! Barnaby Two helped collect more pollen, which meant more yummy honey. But, Barnaby Two wasn’t very good at playing games, he got too focused on making the game perfect and nobody had fun. Soon, another Barnaby, Barnaby Three appeared from the mirror! Barnaby Three loved to dance and make friends, but was terrible at picking up pollen and made a mess of the hive. Barnaby was happy to have some help at first, but now he had too many Barnabys! They weren’t all the same as him. Barnaby realized that although it was nice to have help, it was important to just be himself. He realized he didn’t need to be everywhere at once to be happy. So, with the help of his mom, Barnaby gently guided all the copies back into the mirror. The mirror vanished, and now, even though he was sometimes busy, Barnaby made sure to spend time doing the things that made him happy, knowing that being himself was the best thing of all. He learned that you don't need to be in many places at once to accomplish all the things you enjoy. It is best to focus on the things you can and enjoy them fully.
