The Lazy Ant’s Lesson

Once upon a time, in a busy anthill, there lived two ant friends. One of them was very hardworking, always gathering food and taking care of his home. The other one was lazy and liked to relax and dance.

• One day, the industrious ant told his indolent friend to prepare for rainy days by working hard and storing food.
• But the lazy ant paid no heed to his words and kept on enjoying himself.

When the rainy season arrived, the ants found sugar granules scattered around.

• All the ants, except the lazy one, worked hard at gathering the sugar.
• But the lazy ant kept on dancing and playing.

**When the other ants came back to the anthill, the lazy ant finally decided to collect some sugar. **

• Fortunately, his hardworking friend saw him and came running to rescue him from the sticky situation.

That day, the lazy ant learned a lesson: He learned to appreciate hard work and, from then on, he turned into a hardworking ant.
