最后，蜜蜂感觉有足够的信心能够尝试飞起来了。随着一阵嗡嗡声，它从地面飞了起来，接着一头撞在了不足3英寸外的沙堆上。这个小生命遭到了严重的撞击，它接连翻了几个筋斗。接下来，它多次疯狂地梳理和伸展着翅膀。

这只蜜蜂又一次飞了起来，这次它飞了6英寸之后再次撞倒在另一个土墩上。显而易见的是，蜜蜂的翅膀恢复了升力，可是它尚未掌握好控制方向的机制。就像一名飞行员想要弄清楚一架生疏的飞机的特­性­一样，它试着作了几次短途飞行，然而均以屈辱告终。每碰撞一次，那只蜜蜂便会疯狂地活动起来，来纠正新发现的结构上的缺陷。

它再一次飞了起来，这一次它越过了沙丘，向着一根树桩笔直地飞去。它勉强躲过了树桩，接着放慢飞行的速度，转了几个圈，然后在明澈如镜的水潭上空缓缓飘过，像是在欣赏自己的倒影。那只蜜蜂消失在远方之后，我意识到自己依然跪在地上，并且一直跪了很长时间。
