The Wasp.
-Zoo, zoo, zoo!
The Bee.
-Who's here and buzzing?
The Wasp.
-I, little bee, I — I'm going to you.
The Bee.
-You, little wasp, you? How did you think of that!
The Wasp.
-Hey, now, sitting at home all alone, I said to myself: I'll go and see them...
The Bee.
-Is that him? It's okay — if you're alive! But tell me, don't lie to me, I love it, I know, because you love to peek at the judge with a honeypot, to rejoice and steal, did you leave it, did you forget it?
The Wasp.
-Zun-man-zun-man...
The Bee.
-Out-out! out-out!...
