After King Solomon forgives a bee for stinging him, it returns the favor by identifying the one real flower among a roomful of artificial ones-one of the riddles set the great king by the queen of Sheba. Renberg's simplified retelling is straightforward and lively, a good match for Heller's almost raucously colorful illustrations: Her statuesque, classically draped figures, set amid a riot of blossoms in the opulently appointed palace, are the stuff of legend. Folklore/Picture book.

In this story, King Solomon fell asleep outside and was stung on the nose by a little be. Suddenly, the little bee appeared at the window.

Finally, a little bee admitted that he accidentally stung the monarch. King Solomon "guessed" correctly, impressing the Queen of Sheba. The story presents lessons about kindness to animals and also the idea that there is value in many creatures. Even the smallest or weakest among us may offer some benefit.

Tolrajas

In this story, King Solomon fell asleep outside and was stung on the nose by a little bee. Infuriated, King Solomon ordered all insects to come to the palace and insisted that the guilty culprit confess to the crime. Finally, a little bee admitted that he accidentally stung the monarch. King Solomon was about to execute the insect, but the bee pleaded for its life. "Maybe some day, I can do something for you." The king was amused by the idea that a little bee could ever be of use to a king as wise and lofty as King Solomon. Nevertheless, he released the bee. His nose healed, and in time the ruler forgot about the incident.

Fast forward several years later. The Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon. She wanted to test the king's famed wisdom. The queen presented five bouquets of flowers. Four of these bouquets were artificial. The queen wanted the king to look at the flowers and determine which bouquet was authentic. Suddenly, the little bee appeared at the window. King Solomon ordered a servant to open the window, and the insect made a beeline for the real flowers. King Solomon "guessed" correctly, impressing the Queen of Sheba.

The story presents lessons about kindness to animals and also the idea that there is value in many creatures. Even the smallest or weakest among us may offer some benefit. The story is a Jewish adaptation of the famous Aesop fable about the lion and the mouse. The colorful illustrations are appealing to children from preschool to grade 2. There is not too much text for little children, so the story moves quickly.

This is an old book, but the story is still worth telling.

Goltizuru

This is a lovely story that combines a major plot element of Aesop's "The Mouse and the Lion" with a Jewish story in which a bee helps King Solomon successfully answer a question posed to him by the Queen of Sheba. This story comes from the Oral Torah and probably contains the Aesop motif by accident. (Many folktales with almost identical motifs crop up all over the world without the tellers ever having heard each others' stories.) In any case, it's a lovely story in which a bee angers the King and asks for his mercy with the promise that someday he will help him. The King laughs and lets him go but later does need his help--which the bee happily proffers.

This is the book version of an operetta that I was part of as a child. I'm giving it as a birthday present to a friend who was in it as well. I purchased a copy for both of us. It was exactly what I was looking for.
