向来安静的草原上一下子热闹起来了。你瞧，歌声、笑声连成了一片，到底是发生了什么事呢？
The grassland, which has always been quiet, suddenly became lively. You see, singing and laughter are joined together. What happened?
原来呀，这里要召开一个“灭害虫能手庆功大会”。
你们看，漂亮的啄木鸟、热心的小杜鹃、活泼的小燕子、机警的螳螂、敏捷的小蜻蜓，还有灵巧的小蜜蜂，大嗓门的青蛙。对了，还有蝙蝠、蟾蜍、壁虎等等，都被邀请来参加这个大会了。
代表们陆陆续续地来到了会场，大会主席猫头鹰爷爷戴着他的老花镜跟这个握握手，向那个点点头，忙着招呼大家入座。
开会的时间快到了，可是被邀请的代表当中，瓢虫怎么没有来呢？它可是要在大会上发言呀！
猫头鹰爷爷着急的问说：“嗯，谁能去给我找一下瓢虫呢？”这时候，正在和小金蜂一块玩的小蜻蜓听说要去找瓢虫，它就赶紧飞到主席台前说：“猫头鹰爷爷，让我去吧，我飞得快，”说着，没等猫头鹰爷爷说完话，就像一阵风似的飞走了。
猫头鹰爷爷赶紧对已经飞远了的小蜻蜓大声的喊着说：“哎，小蜻蜓，记住，瓢虫身披红盖盖，盖上还有小点点……”“知道了，知道了！”小蜻蜓一边飞一边答应着。
小蜻蜓飞呀飞呀，不一会儿，小蜻蜓就看见茄秧上有一只披着红袍的圆盖虫。
它急忙落下来，刚要打招呼，它又想起猫头鹰爷爷的话，背上有点点，它眨眨眼，仔细的看了半天，太好了，它的圆盖上果然有几个小点点，嗯，正是它自己要找的瓢虫！
小蜻蜓心里乐了，它大声的招呼说：“喂，瓢虫，快跟我开会去，大伙正等着你发言呢，发言以后，还要颁奖呢！”
这只瓢虫一听，还有奖？就满口的答应，抖起了鲜艳的红袍，跟着小蜻蜓向会场飞去。
小蜻蜓一边喊着，一边飞进了会场：“瓢虫来啦，瓢虫来啦！”
听说瓢虫来了，代表们全都鼓起掌欢迎它，可是，当小蜻蜓和这只瓢虫在猫头鹰的面前刚停下，眼尖的啄木鸟立刻叫了起来：“错啦，错啦，它可不是治蚜虫的能手瓢虫，它是专门吃茄秧茄果的害虫，小蜻蜓，你怎么把它给带来啦！”
小蜻蜓赶紧争辩说：“没错，没错啊，刚才猫头鹰爷爷不是说了吗，瓢虫身披红盖盖，盖上还有小点点，你们看，哪一点错啦！”
猫头鹰爷爷眯起眼睛，仔细的看了看那只躺在地上，缩着脑袋，正在装死的瓢虫。
它慢悠悠的说：“小蜻蜓啊，刚才我的话还没说完你就飞走了，结果弄错了吧！你可要记住，在背上有两个，七个或者是十三个的瓢虫都是益虫，而这种背上有十个和二十八个点的瓢虫啊那就是害虫了，嗯，我今天要你去找的是麦田里的七星瓢虫，它呀，才是真正的灭蚜虫的能手！你来数一数啊，你看，这只瓢虫的身上有几个点点呀？”
小蜻蜓来到了那只瓢虫的面前，认认真真的数了起来：一、二、三……六、七……十，啊，原来，这是一只十星瓢虫。”
发现自己弄错了，小蜻蜓难过的的躲在一边不说话了，，猫头鹰爷爷看见了就对小蜻蜓说：“嗯，小蜻蜓，别难过啦，请你再去找一次，我相信啦这次你一定能把七星瓢虫给请来，现在你就出发吧，我们先开会，我们一边开会一边等着你们，祝你成功！”
小蜻蜓听了抖了抖翅膀，充满信心的飞走了。
一路上啊，小蜻蜓慢慢的飞，认真的找，后来它在一块小麦地里发现了一群披着红袍的圆盖虫，正在拼命的吃着麦芽虫，它们的身上都有七个小黑点小蜻蜓高兴的只拍手：“哈哈，原来灭蚜英雄在这啦！”
它连忙对七星瓢虫说：“瓢虫大姐姐们，请你们快去开会吧，大家都在等着你们介绍经验啦！”
小蜻蜓见了七星瓢虫就惊奇的说：“哦，原来你们吃蚜虫的速度这么快呀！”
七星瓢虫高兴的说“没错，蚜虫是我们的美食，我们一只七星瓢虫一天能吃掉200多只蚜虫呢！”
“太好啦，这可太好啦，快走吧，把你们的事迹给大伙儿好好的说一说。”这时候，大会开的正热闹呢
小蜻蜓和七星瓢虫手拉着手，唱着歌，朝着欢乐的草坪上飞过去。
It turns out that there is going to be a “Pest Exterminator Celebration Meeting” here.
You see, the beautiful woodpeckers, the enthusiastic little cuckoos, the lively little swallows, the alert mantises, the agile little dragonflies, the clever little bees, and the loud-sounding frogs. By the way, bats, toads, geckos, etc. are all invited to this conference.
The delegates came to the venue one after another. Grandpa Owl, the chairman of the conference, wore his reading glasses and shook hands with this one, nodded to that, and hurriedly greeted everyone to take their seats.
The time for the meeting is approaching, but among the invited delegates, why didn’t the ladybug come? It is going to speak at the conference!
Grandpa Owl asked anxiously, “Well, who can find me the ladybug?” At this time, the little dragonfly who was playing with the little golden bee heard that she was going to find the ladybug, so he hurriedly flew to the rostrum. Said: “Grandpa Owl, let me go, I fly fast,” he said, before Grandpa Owl finished speaking, he flew away like a gust of wind.
Grandpa Owl hurriedly shouted to the little dragonfly who was flying far away: “Hey, little dragonfly, remember, the ladybug is covered with a red cover, and there is a little bit of cover…” “Got it, got it! “Little Dragonfly agreed while flying.
The little dragonfly flew and flew. After a while, the little dragonfly saw a red robe worm on the eggplant seedlings.
It hurriedly fell down, just about to say hello, when it remembered Grandpa Owl’s words, a little bit on its back, it blinked and looked at it carefully for a long time, it’s great, there are a few small dots on its round lid, yes It’s the ladybug it’s looking for!
Little Dragonfly was happy, and it greeted loudly, “Hey, ladybug, go to a meeting with me. Everyone is waiting for you to speak. After you speak, awards will be awarded!”
There is a prize for this ladybug? He replied with full mouth, shaking up the bright red robe, and flew to the venue with the little dragonfly.
While shouting, the little dragonfly flew into the venue: “The ladybug is here, the ladybug is here!”
Hearing that the ladybug was coming, the representatives all clapped to welcome it, but when the little dragonfly and the ladybug stopped in front of the owl, the sharp-eyed woodpecker immediately cried, “Wrong, wrong, it It’s not a ladybug that is an expert at curing aphids. It is a pest that specializes in eating solanaceae fruit, little dragonfly. How did you bring it here!”
Little Dragonfly quickly argued: “Yes, that’s right. Didn’t Grandpa Owl just say that the ladybug is wearing a red cover, and there is a little bit on the cover. Look, what’s wrong!”
Grandpa Owl narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the ladybug lying on the ground with his head shrinking and pretending to be dead.
It said slowly: “Little Dragonfly, you flew away before I finished saying what I said just now. You got it wrong! Remember, there are two, seven or thirteen on your back. Ladybirds are beneficial insects, and this kind of ladybirds with ten and twenty-eight dots on their backs are pests. Well, what I want you to find today is the seven-spotted ladybird in the wheat field. A real expert at killing aphids! Come and count them. Look, how many dots are there on this ladybug?”
The little dragonfly came to the ladybug and counted it seriously: one, two, three… six, seven… ten, ah, it turns out that this is a ten-star ladybug. ”
Realizing that I had made a mistake, Little Dragonfly hid sadly and stopped talking. Grandpa Owl said to Little Dragonfly when he saw it, “Well, Little Dragonfly, don’t be sad. Please go and find it again. I believe it. You will definitely be able to invite the Seven-Star Ladybug this time. Now you can go. Let’s have a meeting first. We are waiting for you while we have a meeting. I wish you success!”
The little dragonfly shook its wings and flew away confidently.
Along the way, the little dragonfly flew slowly and looked for it carefully. Later, it found a group of red-robed round worms in a wheat field, desperately eating malt worms, and they all had seven small worms on their bodies. The little black-spotted dragonfly clapped his hands happily: “Haha, the aphid-killing hero is here!”
It hurriedly said to the Seven Star Ladybug: “Ladybug sisters, please go to the meeting, everyone is waiting for you to introduce your experience!”
When the little dragonfly saw the ladybug, he was surprised and said: “Oh, so you eat aphids so fast!”
The ladybug said happily, “Yes, aphids are our delicacy. One ladybug can eat more than 200 aphids a day!”
“That’s great, this is great, let’s go, and tell everyone about your deeds.” At this time, the conference was going lively.
The little dragonfly and ladybug hold hands, sing songs, and fly towards the joyful lawn.
