I stepped ? ?2 ? ?them and the smaller boy， and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of what they were doing to him. One of the boys replied， “Hes weird.” At that， I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird， and the ? ?3 ? ?was “No”. So， I asked another boy what the word “weird” meant， and he said， “Different.” That was my cue （暗示）.

I heard the bees long before I saw them.

It was a very hot afternoon， and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water， my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout and then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.

I heard a low hum （嗡嗡聲）， which was growing louder. From a distance， the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer， I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.

All I could do was cover my face with my hands. Crazily， I thought that if I sat very still， the bees would think I was just another rock.

After a few seconds， I knew my plan hadnt worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.

But it was not so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However， I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening， but I had no choice.

I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool， but I dont remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe， and the water felt wonderful.

But we still werent out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool， the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water， putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.

If you plan to take your pet on a trip， prepare ahead of time. At least two weeks before you leave， take your pet to a vet （獸醫(yī)）. See if he or she is fit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.

Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injection before they can be allowed to enter. Your pet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries， check with their consulates （領(lǐng)事館）. You can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.

Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.

If you are going by plane or train， ask if pets are allowed. If they are， ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.

Choose your pets box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they cant be chewed.

If going by plane or train during warm weather， try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold. Even in your own car， be careful. Do not leave the animal inside with the windows closed because the car may become too hot or too cold.
