Stinky’s Funny Scent

Stinky the stinkbug finds a shiny strawberry.

“I wish I could share this berry,” Stinky sighs. “But last week Bumpy the caterpillar said he didn’t like my funny scent.”

Stinky sees Lily the Ladybug sitting on a daisy.

“Maybe she’ll share my berry.”

Stinky lands beside Lily.

“Want to share my berry, Lily?” he asks.

“Sure! Mmmm. It’s sweet!”

Stinky is so happy that his funny scent leaks out.

Lily coughs and covers her nose.

“Ugh! What’s that smell?”

“It’s me,” Stinky says. “I’m sorry, Lily.”

“Go away, Stinky! I’m not hungry any more.”

Stinky feels sad.

“It’s no fun being lonely,” he says.

He sees Fleet the Fly playing kick the seed with Macy the Mantis.

“I can’t share my berry, but maybe I can join the game.”

Macy kicks a grass seed high into the air.

“I’ll get it!” Stinky cries.
