Bug-A-Boos

This story takes place deep in the Great Forest where people are rarely seen. The inhabitants of this land called Bug-A-Boos may be bothered from time to time by animals like lizards or bears but most of the time the bugs who live in this story go about then-own business of getting food building homes or arguing or fighting with each other. Bug -A- Boos is a community much like the ones people create although on a much smaller scale. Ralph the Drone is the main character in this story. He is an unusual bee because he is not simply a worker bee; he is a thinking bee who is concerned over threats to the well being of all of the bugs. It was that characteristic which got Ralph in trouble because he openly disagreed with a plan for handling a drought which was announced by the Monarch the leader of all the bugs. Ralph found himself banished to the land of the fire ants for daring to suggest a better approach. This proved to be fortunate because Ralph and two friends who joined him Milllie the Moth and Chuck the Chub overheard the fire ant''s leaderGeneral G planning an attack on Bug-A-Boos and recommended a way to counter the attack. The plan worked and the fire ants were turned back. Ralph was still held in disdain however. The leader of the fire ants General G was not the type of bug that would give up easily. He also vowed to get even with Ralph the Drone and made a pact with the evil Ann Mantis to capture Ralph. She was more than pleased to help General G because of her long standing hate of Ralph. When Ralph is captured by the fire ants it appears the peaceful community of Bug-A-Boos and its incompetent leader the Monarch will at last fall prey to the fire ants.
