Even the king fly (His Highness, Superfly) didn't know what to do. But Buzzby saved the day by making a buzzing noise that sounded just like the doorbell. The house cleaner opened the door and all the flies flew away, car- rying Buzzby with them. From that day forward Buzzby took his rightful place at the king’s side and the other flies brought Buzzby all the food scraps and anirpal dung his little heart desired.

I’m sure we’re all feeling like that at this point, especially those of us who never got down to Florida or St. Lucia, or wherever it is the people are flying to and clustering these days. That's it's been a long winter and we’ve been sort of trapped indoors. There’s been a lot of snow, a lot of colds and flu and a lot of bad economic news. Finally, it seems there's some good news from the financial world and maybe with the weather improving in the north- ern hemisphere, we’re at the start of an upswing. -As in, we were going to be smushed, but now we might get away. At least with winter over, we won't have to rub our legs together to keep warm, like our friends the flies.
