A WASP STORY
A story of how one wasp cared for another that had been injured is told by a gentleman who, while reading the newspaper, felt _ bothered by the buzzing of a wasp about his head and knocked it down. It fell through the open •window" and lay on the sill as if dead. A few seconds afterwards, to his great surprise, a large wasp flew to tie window-sill, and, after buzzing round his ■wounded brother for a few minutes, began to feel him all over. The injured wasp seemed to revive under this treatment, and his friend then dragged him gently to the edge, grasped him around the body, and flew away with him. It -was plain that the stranger, finding a wounded comrade, gave him aid as well as he could and then bore him away home.
