Read together
Once upon a time, there was a little ant named Andy. Andy loved to go on adventures, but today was different. He had a very important mission. He had to deliver an apple to the alligator living in the nearby swamp.
Andy picked up the apple in his tiny ant hands and set off on his journey. He walked past a cat lounging in the sun, and a car driving by on the road. Finally, he reached the swamp. But when he got there, he realized he had a problem. The alligator was across the water, and Andy couldn't swim.
Just then, Andy saw an ax lying on the ground. He had an idea. He used the ax to chop down a small tree, and then used the trunk as a bridge to cross the water and deliver the apple to the alligator. The alligator was very pleased and even offered Andy a cup of sweet nectar to drink.
From that day on, Andy was known as the bravest ant in the land. And he had the alligator as his new best friend.
