...threatening to take a swipe at it and putting everyone on the run.
His parents threaten to take his stick from him if he doesn't behave. But to no avail. He keeps running towards the hornets nest.
Nobody wants to make him angry. They have no idea how he might retaliate? So they let him keep his stick.
And every day, he keeps running toward the hornets nest. Everyone worries that one of these days, on one of his bad days, he will take a swipe at the nest and the party will be over.
