Zilly, the small wild bee, lives in a wondrous tree.
This tree is at the edge of a bright yellow rapeseed field. And whenever Zilly wants, it rains under this tree, even though the sun shines around it.
One day a small blue car stops next to the tree. The big fat Benno gets out of it. His feet are sweating. So he lays his bright yellow socks to dry in the grass and sits down under the tree to take a rest.
Zilly thinks: „This big fat man must be a king.“ And she decides to take a good look at him..
- She looks in his smelly shoe and almost faints.

Then she has enough of it and decides: “The king must leave.”
So it starts raining under the wonder tree, because Willy wants to. And Benno flees. He takes his picnic basket and his shoes and drives off in his small blue car.
But he leaves his bright yellow socks behind …
