Once upon a time, there was an ant named Andy who loved to play with his friends. One day, he found a ball and wanted to play a game of catch. But all of his friends were busy, so he decided to ask the alligator to play with him.

The alligator agreed, but only if Andy brought him an apple as a prize. So Andy set off to find an apple, but on the way he met a cab driver who offered him a ride.

But little did Andy know, the cab driver was actually a bat in disguise! The bat took Andy to a dark, creepy forest where he tried to steal the apple. Andy was afraid, but he remembered he had his trusty ax with him.

He swung the ax and chased the bat away. Then he finally made it back to the alligator with the apple. They played a fun game of catch and both had a great time.

From then on, Andy always remembered to bring his ax with him when going on adventures, just in case he needed to defend himself from sneaky bats!
