Description

Summary
  • A bird in a cage tests out whether bees are deaf, a statement they read in a newspaper, by shouting repeatedly at a passing bee. The bee does not respond, causing the bird to believe it is true. Back at the hive, the bee removes it's earplugs, which it shares it wears because it finds the buzzing annoying.
