Ep. 16: Maya Takes Responsibility for Caring for Beetle Offspring

16

Maya has made a commitment to a beetle couple to watch over their young. Willie, who is tasked with this duty, finds the experience challenging. He realizes that managing a wild group of small beetles is far more difficult than he anticipated. If he had understood the extent of the trouble involved in looking after them, he likely would have stayed in bed rather than attempting the task. The narrative focuses on the struggles of this caretaking arrangement and Willie's regret over his involvement in the situation.
