While reading Maurice Sendak's classic Where The Wild Things Are to a group of children, he was interrupted by screaming.
"Oh no, it's a bee!" Obama said. Trying to calm the children down, he said: "That's OK guys, bees are good. They won't land on you. They won't sting you."
He added: "Hold on! Hold on! You guys are wild things! You’re not supposed to be scared of bees when you’re a wild thing!"
The President of the United States was also photobombed by a giant Easter bunny during the 137th Egg Roll on Monday, which attracted 35,000 guests.
