Dialogues[]
- When I played tennis the other day, I found myself collecting bugs instead of tennis balls. My friends were speechless.
- Lack of exercise isn't good for bugs, either. I'm planning to gather bugs from the playground and hold a sports festival! I'll start training myself to win!
- I found a huge beehive when I was playing softball the other day! Everyone else quit playing, because they were afraid of being stung. I enjoyed watching bees for hours.

- Omigosh! Ahhhhh! Call an ambulance, please!! I crushed a bug with a basketball! Oh, I feel terrible....
- The population hit 500,000! I imagined what it would be like if there was the same number of worms wriggling along in the city. Yuck!
