Miss Cassandra will be missing for a few weeks from the beehive, so Maya indulges in an unscheduled trip into nature. Getting into a fine mess in a pond, she is rescued by a kind dragonfly who has taken a liking to her. Soon after, it is Maya’s turn to rescue her from the clutches of a dragonfly-hunting boy.

The fly knows a wonderful vacation spot - in the middle of a horse's back. She just forgot to warn Willy and Maya about the horse's tail.

With the ants, Willy comes to again, at the last moment - and from now on thinks he is an ant.

It has been raining all day. At first it is quite funny, the insects press themselves under a safe mushroom and tell each other what they have experienced - until Iffi appears.

Where is the exit?
