Bug's Performance
Wasn't Funny To Him
. One of the children noticed
him first and became justi
: iiably excited, for it was a
large bug, obviously a beetle,
nearly two inches in length
with a smooth, shiny black
- body.
He had just walked into the
baseboard and was trying to
back away and get started
- again across the porch floor.
The cry, "Come see the big,
black bug," alerted the entire
family. They all rushed out to
see, and stayed the per
formance the bug was putting
on was worth the lime spent.
The beetle, the so-called
' Darkling beetle, who norm
" ally moves only by night and
spends the daylight hours in
the ground or under a rotting
log, where he nibbles on the
dead plants or toadstools, had
somehow blundered into the
screened-in porch.
- Accident Prone
It soon was apparent the
beetle was "accident prone,"
as he stumbled right from one
crisis to another. Usually
slow moving, in spite of its
six legs, this character was
: a true blunderer; he made up
hill work of even a level sur
face. What a time he had he
' blundered into the most ridic
ulous predicament, struggled
valiantly to get out of one
scrape only to fall into an
other. He spent many minutes
-upside down, his six legs wav
ing helplessly in the air, his
, body twisting from one side
to the other, and at the same
. time skating around in er
ratic circles on his black,
shiny back.
The amused spectators
couldn't help him for they
. couldn't know where he
.' wanted to go; by his actions,
false start and abrupt revers
. als he didn't seem to know
' either. Troubles were attract
ed to him like iron fillings to
a magnet.
He would no sooner get
himself righted and head out
for some obscure destination
before he would slam his
. head into a piece of porch
furniture, or the wall, or any
thing else that was in the
way. He was bull-headed.
Mode It To Door
, . After a couple of hundred
; tumbles, roll-overs, and upsets
. he finally made the doorway
, of the screened porch. The
, door was open. True to his
natural stupidity he fell off
the step, landed in a leg-waving
heap on the concrete
.walk. On his back again; once
..more the struggle to regain
. his feet. Again the children
"helped by tipping him over
with a lead pencil.
This scared him and he
"pushed the panic button"
again and slammed into the
doorstep, the same one he had
but recently fallen from. It
' was enough to drive a bug
" batty.
Eventually, he reached a
soft spot in the yard, for the
first time he had a faint flash
of sense, he ducked his head
and started to dig himself in,
' out of sight in the earth, leav-
- Ing perhaps a lesson for those
who had watched, for he
proved that an unshakable de-
termination can overcome a
i whole series of mistakes, as
well as stupid clumsiness.
