The Bee

This morning as I was preparing to take my shower, I opened the window in the bathroom to let some air in, as it was a very hot and muggy morning. Not a moment after that, a wandering honeybee flew in through the open window, curious about my white walls and, no doubt, the bouquet of floral scents and manly essences that emanate from my windowsill in the form of many exotic cleansing oils and perfumes that every clean man-about-town must surely own. It was upon trying to shoo the bee whence forth from where it came when I discovered, much to my own chagrin, that there was, in fact, a screen already on the window, but not yet in use. So after I got the bee out safely and securely, I put the screen down and now have my screened window open free of the hazards of protruding insects.

Lesson: Prevention is key. Put the screen down before the bee flies into your bathroom, that way, the bee won't fly into your bathroom.
