My mom and I visited my grandma in the countryside last weekend.
On Sunday, I went to the woods with my cousin Ben and he 1 . everything with a stick (棍子). When I saw a white-faced hornet's nest (马蜂窝), I felt problems and said, "Don't touch the pest! They are not 2 !"
Ben laughed, "You wait and see."
I didn't say a word and walked away. Then came a loud sound. "I'm going to 3 the stick! You go for your life!"
A dark cloud of hornets flew towards me. They soon got me to 4 —wherever I went, they followed me.
A small river suddenly came into my 5 and I jumped into the water. I saw Ben also in the water. Only his eyes were 6 above the water.
I said angrily, "we are not friends!"
I went back under the water to 7 all my stings (蜇伤) and I felt much better. Ben came to have a look at the stings and I shouted again, "They are 8 me!"
"9 " Ben said. Trying to cool down, I closed my eyes. Then I said, "Can you get me some hickory (山核桃) leaves? I will feel better if we put the 10 on the stings."
"No problem!" Ben 11 to the woods and back, chewing (咀嚼) hickory leaves like a 12 horse.
The stings were still making me painful, 13 I smiled at myself. I knew that Ben would go to school with green 14 .
I never told him that chewing hickory leaves didn't 15 bee stings.
