The story is about two children who were stung by Bee Polite just
once--but they never forgot it.
"Daisy and Dan were twins. When they were babies, their mother took them
from their home in the East to live in a far Western state. They could
not remember their grandmother, who still lived back in the old home
town. All they knew about her was what their mother had told them; and
she often wrote long letters, and sent them lovely presents.
"One day they received a letter from Grandma, saying that she was coming
to spend a few weeks with them. They could hardly wait for Thursday to
come when she was to arrive at the station.
"The train was due at six o'clock in the evening, and Mother promised
the twins that they might go to meet Grandma. After school she sent them
to the store to buy some things for supper, and she gave them ten cents
to buy candy.
"Now there were some children living in the neighborhood who were very
rude. For this reason the twins were never allowed to play with them.
But today, on their way to the store, they met these children, and all
went on together.
"They crossed a vacant lot, where there was a pile of crushed rock.
