Beetle Rolls a Ball

Louise K. Tucker

This rhyming story describes how an elephant was walking around the bush when a dung beetle told him that he would help him get rid of the flies. The dung beetle explained what dung beetles do with elephant dung. The elephant asked how this helps to get rid of flies. The dung beetle explained that flies lay their eggs in dung, but the eggs don't have a chance to hatch because the dung beetles bury it.
