I really am sorry,” Tad explains. “I just want to belong. A frog who can’t eat flies—it just feels so wrong.”
“Being different can be hard, but, you’ll figure it out somehow. Someday, you may find it’s a gift,
even if you don’t think so right now.”
“How would you know?” Tad’s eyes fill with tears.
“Because, I’m allergic to honey—have been for years! Since I couldn’t make honey like other bees do, I trained as a Medic, and now I get to help you!
