3. The fly teases us in summer. It gets into our sugar, milk, treacle, and honey. Then it makes marks upon our windows and other things.
4. Its wings are very pretty. When they get wet it cannot fly. The noise flies make is called buzzing.

THE WASP.
1. A wasp is a very pretty insect, black and yellow in colour. There are several kinds. Some burrow in the ground and make their nests there. Others build their nests in trees.
2. Wasps live together in large numbers. They are very busy. Some lay eggs; some are masons, and build the nest; others are soldiers, and guard the home; whilst others carry away all the rubbish, and keep everything clean and tidy.
3. The wasp's sting has poison in it. This is why it gives us such pain if we get stung.
