The wasp's son fell ill. She went to the sorcerer for advice, he told her:
- Ask a hummingbird for a feather, and your son will get well. The hummingbird gave her feather, and the wasp's son recovered.
And then the hummingbird’s son got sick. The sorcerer said;
- Ask the wasp for a wing.
And when the hummingbird asked the wasp for a wing, the wasp said:
- I only have two wings. If I give you one, I won't be able to fly.
And the hummingbird's son died. Then the hummingbird said:
- My son died. Now you and I are enemies forever. But the wasp said:
- No, let's remain friends! We will keep you safe. When you lay your eggs in your nest, we will build our nest nearby to guard your children.
And since then, wasps always make their nests next to the nests of hummingbirds.
