In "Cupid Stung," what does Cupid mean when he says that the bee is "like a mean serpent on a tiny wing"? A.
The bee is not as small and innocent as it appears, but rather, it is sneaky and with ill intent like a snake.
B.
The bee is not to be trusted at all like a snake, for it will sneak up and attack with no sense of forgiveness.
C.
The bee is similar to a snake, where both are underestimated for their ability to strike when it is least expected.
D.
The bee is cruel and unfair for attacking him for no apparent reason other than laying his head on a bed of roses.
Poem:
Cupid, once upon a bed,
Of roses laid his weary head;
Luckless urchin, not to see,
Within the leaves, a slumbering bee.
The bee awak'd, with anger wild,
The bee awak'd, and stung the child.
Loud and piteous his cries,
"Oh, Mother! I am wounded through,
Stung by some little angry thing that flew,
Like a mean serpent on a tiny wing,
An ugly bee it was, for once, I know it was so."
Then she said, "My infant, if so much
Thou feel the little wild bee's touch,
How must the heart, ah, Cupid! be,
The hapless heart that's stung by thee!"
