Once upon a time, there was a small ant named Antoinette who lived in a big colony. Antoinette was very industrious and always worked hard to help her colony grow. She was always looking for new ways to be involved in the community and make a difference. One day, Antoinette saw an opportunity to try something new and she took it. The opportunity made her feel nervous but she had a lot of self-confidence and believed in herself. With her hard work and determination, Antoinette shone in her new role and became a valuable member of the colony. She learned that opportunities can bring great rewards and that having self-confidence can help you achieve anything you set your mind to. The end.
