**This exercise is a little more complicated than others, since it is based on ordering the statements chronologically according to the previous story.**

*In order to be able to answer you must first read and understand the text called “the lazy bee” and then answer correctly.*

**The secret in this exercise is after reading the text, search one by one the statements listed and make your own list to build a general idea on which you can base it.**
***

*Finally we did the immediate translation to save you some time, you can compare the sentences with the ones in your book.
If you feel lost just look for the part you need to correctly place the sentence in the order.*

*this exercise asks us to answer the following questions based on the above story.*

*At this point you should already have some idea of how to answer based on the bee’s story, we will translate the questions and answers that will be of my authorship so that you have them as an **example**.*

1. ¿Qué características podrías señalar de la abeja haragana? ¿En qué se diferenciaba de las otras abejas? / *What characteristics could you point out about the lazy bee and how was it different from other bees?*
