    Early one spring day, Sally Sue and


    her mommy planted a small
    vegetable garden.
    Sally Sue planted all her favorite
    vegetables. She planted carrots,
    corn, lettuce, and even pumpkins.
    Sally Sue watered the garden every day and
    with her mommy’s help, removed the weeds.
    She was so excited to watch her
    vegetables grow and her mommy
    was so proud of her.

    The plants grew and grew.


    One day Sally Sue noticed that the plants
    didn’t look good. They had brown spots on
    their leaves and it looked like something
    was eating them.
    Sally Sue’s mommy said that it looked like
    there were little bugs called aphids eating
    her vegetable plants. Sally Sue was sad. But her
    mommy told her not to worry.
    In a few days there would be some
    hero bugs coming to the rescue.
    The next day, when Sally Sue went to the garden,
    she saw pretty, little beetles all over.
    They were red with black dots on their back.
    Her mommy saw that Sally Sue was afraid that
    these bugs would also eat her vegetable plants,
    so she yelled out “The heroes are here.
    Three cheers for the Ladybugs.”

    “Ladybugs?” Sally Sue asked. “You mean the


    heroes are girls?” Then she asked,
    “Where are the boy bugs?” Her mommy then
    explained that there were both girl and boy beetles
    and that they were just called Ladybugs.
    “Then why are they called Ladybugs?”
    Sally Sue asked.
    Her mommy then explained that when she was
    little, her grandfather had told her that since they
    were pretty, and all little ladies are pretty, just like
    you Sally Sue, they became known as Ladybugs.
    “Oh” said Sally Sue. “That’s it?”
    “I was also told that many years ago, in the
    middle ages, the farmers crops were being eaten
    by aphids and they prayed to the Mother Mary for
    help.”
    “In the next few days, these beetles came and ate
    the aphids, saving their crops. In respect for their
    prayers being answered by Mother Mary, they
    named them Beetle of the Lady.
    In time they became
    known as Lady Beetles and later just Ladybugs”
    “It doesn’t really matter.” said Sally Sue.
    “They are pretty and helpful, and with due
    respect to the “boys”… thank you ladies!”

    Later that summer, Sally Sue had lots


    of yummy vegetables.
    And in early fall, the biggest pumpkins
    she ever saw.
