Once upon a time, there was a baby who loved to read books. One day, the baby found a book on a shelf and opened it up. Inside, there was a recipe for a delicious cookie. The baby wanted to make the cookie so badly, but there was one problem: the recipe said to cut an apple and a banana.

The baby tried to cut the apple, but it was too difficult. Just then, an ant walked by and saw the baby struggling. The ant asked the baby if it needed help. The baby nodded and the ant climbed up onto the cutting board. With its tiny scissors, the ant expertly cut the apple and the banana into small pieces.

The baby was so grateful to the ant, and together they made the most delicious cookie ever. From that day on, the baby and the ant were the best of friends, and they spent many happy days baking cookies and reading books together.

The end.
