Once apon a time in a far away land there lived a little lady bug who's name was Bugs and do you know why his name is Bugs? Because he loved bugs . Now it was very close to valintine's day, and that is one of his favorite holiday's and when Bugs heard that it was close he started nagging his mom about how many day's until valentine's day. And when finally valentines' day came he asked his mom if he could go to the valentine's party, his mom said yes but hurry up, and ... he did not wait to hear more, he ran straight to his room and changed and then ran to the foyer and got his coat on. And then flew out the door and ran to the house. By then he was out of breath. He flopped down on the couch and took a deep breath. Then he stood up, and went to join the other bugs.

He couldn't wait till the end of the party,because he wanted to see what was in his valentines bag. He hoped there were good things to eat, like a package of bug lo-mein! MMMM! Suddenly, one of his friends came up to him, and said: "Come on! You're missing a great game!" "What's it called?" Bugs asked. "aroomakoom," he answered. "What?" Bugs asked. " A- room- a- koom," his friend answered. "Oh, that sounds neat! Let's go!" So they went over to where the game was being played. Bugs asked how to play,and soon found out that all it was, was: You toss a tennis-ball into a trash-can, take it out, toss it into another trash can,take it out, and then toss it into a laundry basket. The first bug with the ball in the basket, wins. Bugs won almost every time! Then, after cake and ice-cream, it was time to hand out valentine bags! He couldn't wait till after cake and ice - cream. When everyone was finally done, Mrs. Beetle gave out the valentine bags. Bugs was just about to open his when Mrs. Beetle said: " You can't open your bags until you get home." Bugs was so disapointed! Then after a moment Mrs. Beetle said they could go home whenever they wanted. Bugs grabbed his coat and flew home as fast as he could. He tore open the bag and all he saw was a lollipop! Oh well he thought, mom will make me some bug lo - mein. When he tasted the lollipop he thought it tasted just like bugs. He bit it. It was a bug lollipop! In the bag he found a note saying: This Lollipop Is Just For You! Bugs was very happy. Just then his mom came up to him and said, "Don't eat that lollipop now Bugs, it's time for dinner,were having bug lo - mein." Bugs shouted for joy. He was the happiest bug in the world!
