Anasazi Dominican style

Ok, well they're not exactly Anasazi stories because they don't actually contain Anasazi.  But, I've recently been told 1 Dominican folklore story and 1 Dominican saying that I thought were clever and interesting.  Below is the translation of them.  Enjoy.

The Bee and the Wasp:

One day, God created the wasp, and told the bee that he needed to teach the wasp how to do his tasks in life.  So, the bee and the wasp began their lessons. 

On day one, the bee told the wasp that he was going to show him how to fly around.  He began flying and the wasp quickly caught on and flew right alongside him.  But, when the bee started to show him how to fly in loops and to float up and down to flowers, and the other tricky ways to fly that bees have, the wasp cut him off and said "oh yea, yea, I already know how to do that."  When the bee tried to make sure, the wasp said "I know how ok?!"  And flew away.

The next day, the bee's lesson for the wasp was how to build a hive.  So, he started with the general construction techniques and the wasp quickly caught on and soon was building his home as well.  However, when the bee tried to show him how to make sure that there was always honey being produced and held in the home, the wasp cut him off and said "oh yea, yea, I already know how to do that."  When the bee tried to make sure, the wasp said "I know how ok?!"  And flew off for the day.

On the third day, feeling unneeded and unwanted, the bee decided to end his lessons with the wasp.  Because of the wasp's distaste for being taught, he never learned how to do all of the wonderful things that the bee can do like fly with grace and make honey in his home.

The Patience of the Donkey:

With patience and calm, the donkey climbed the palm tree.

My prayer today is that God would remove any spirit of the wasp that may reside in me and that I would increase in patience like the donkey.

Cheers,
