Speed Reading — Monster Bees - Level 0 — 300 wpm

Now do this put-the-text-back-together activity.


This is the text (if you need help).

Children are afraid of the dark. They have nightmares and see imaginary monsters. For one little girl, the monsters were real. Three-year-old Saylor said there were "monsters" in her bedroom. Her parents said she had just seen the movie Monsters, Inc. However, there were 60,000 bees behind Saylor's bedroom wall.

The insects were honeybees. These are protected in the USA. A beekeeper drilled a hole in the bedroom wall and the bees, "came pouring out, like a horror movie". The beekeeper captured the bees. They are now on a special honeybee farm. The bees caused more than $20,000 in damages to the house.
