It begins with a man attempting to cut coconuts, who is distracted by a fly, causing him to drop his knife. This action startles his wife, who then inadvertently kicks a sleeping crocodile. The agitated crocodile's tail lashes out, frightening a jungle bird. The bird lands near a monkey who, startled, drops a mango. The mango falls on a hippo, who panics and tramples a bushfowl's nest, breaking all the eggs. The devastated bushfowl mourns her loss, her cries ceasing traditional jungle calls, which results in the sky remaining dark for days. Worried jungle animals gather to consult the wise lion, who convenes a meeting to determine the cause of the disruption. During the gathering, each animal recounts its part in the escalating sequence of events, culminating with the man explaining that the initial disturbance was caused by a fly annoying him. This narrative illustrates a classic folk tale structure where a small incident triggers a complex series of reactions, impacting the entire ecosystem and natural order of the jungle, highlighting the interconnectedness of all creatures and the ripple effects of even minor disturbances.","Why Flies Buzz  \nEnglish  \nTraditional Story  \n1  \nOne bright, sunny day, a man and his wife went into the jungle to gather food.  \nWhen they reached a coconut tree, the man took out his knife. The man climbed up the tree to cut down some delicious coconuts.  \nAs the man reached for a coconut, a black fly flitted around his face.  \nHe tried to swat the fly, and dropped his knife.“Watch out, Wife!” he cried.  \n2  \nThe wife jumped out of the way. As she jumped, she kicked a crocodile that was sleeping beneath the tree.  \nThe angry crocodile’s tail went — swack!| swack! swack!  \n3  \nNearby, a jungle bird was looking for bugs to eat. As the crocodile’s tail came down, the bird squawked — scree! scree! scree!  \nThe bird soared to a branch in a tree and landed right next to a monkey. The monkey was peeling a juicy mango.  \n4  \n5  \nThe monkey, startled by the bird, dropped his mango.  \nIt fell on the head of a hippo — splat! splat! splat!  \nThe hippo thought he was being attacked by hunters. He tried to escape — stomp! stomp! stomp!  \nAs he did, he trampled on a bushfowl’s nest. The nest was full of eggs.  \n6  \n7  \n“My eggs are all broken!”wailed the bushfowl. She began to cry — sob! sob! sob!  \nAnd there she stayed, beside her nest, for many days and nights.  \nShe did not awaken the sun with her familiar call —kark! kark! kark! So the sky remained dark for several days.  \nThe jungle animals were worried. They went to talk to the wise lion.  \nThe lion gathered all the animals together to find out what had happened.  \n8  \nEveryone blamed each other.  \nThe last to speak was the man. He said,“Wise Lion, I dropped my knife because a black fly was annoying me.\"  \n9","cbCaiszSYZnmhrzX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiszSYZnmhrzX","pdf",3322191,19,"English","en",105,"# Why Flies Buzz\n## English\n## Traditional Story","[{\"question\":\"What caused the man to drop his knife?\",\"answer\":\"The man dropped his knife because a black fly was flitting around his face and he tried to swat it.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the crocodile get involved in the events?\",\"answer\":\"When the wife jumped to avoid the falling knife, she kicked a crocodile that was sleeping nearby.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the ultimate consequence of the bushfowl's broken eggs?\",\"answer\":\"The bushfowl's loud mourning stopped, causing the sun not to awaken and the jungle sky to remain dark for several days.\"}]",1784323170,29,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"why-flies-buzz","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/why-flies-buzz/92923/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-22","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What caused the man to drop his knife?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The man dropped his knife because a black fly was flitting around his face and he tried to swat it.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"How did the crocodile get involved in the events?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"When the wife jumped to avoid the falling knife, she kicked a crocodile that was sleeping nearby.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What was the ultimate consequence of the bushfowl's broken eggs?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"The bushfowl's loud mourning stopped, causing the sun not to awaken and the jungle sky to remain dark for several days.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":137},"General","general"]
