It all started on a sunny afternoon in his backyard. Lage was minding his own business, humming a cheerful tune, when he spotted something shiny in the grass. Like a moth to a flame, he couldn't resist investigating. As he reached out to grab it, he realized to his horror that it was a beehive the size of a basketball!
Before he could say "Sugar, no!" the bees erupted from their hive like tiny, angry missiles. Lage, with his signature lack of grace, stumbled backward, tripping over his own feet and landing with a painful thud. The bees, seeing their chance, descended upon him like a torpedo swarm.
"Ouch! Sweet mercy!" Lage yelped, flailing his arms like a windmill.He ran, but the bees were faster. He swiped at the air, but they dodged his clumsy attempts with ease. It was a comical scene of a man desperately trying to outrun and outwit a cloud of angry pollinators.
Just when Lage thought he couldn't take it anymore, he tripped headfirst into a rose bush. The thorns caught his clothes, and he was held captive like a helpless caterpillar. The bees, seeing their chance, swarmed around him, their tiny stingers poised to strike.
"Help! My dignity and my skin!" Lage cried in despair.But fate, it seemed, had a sense of humor. As the bees closed in for the kill, a playful breeze swept through the yard. The bees, caught off guard, were blown away like so many tiny paper airplanes. Lage, covered in thorns and sticky honey, emerged from the rose bush a victor, albeit a rather pathetic-looking one.
As he stumbled to his feet, Lage couldn't help but laugh at his own clumsiness. It was a hilarious disaster, one that would be the talk of the neighborhood for years to come. And so, Lage Formiga, the man with a knack for finding trouble, added another sweet memory to his collection of misadventures.
