Once upon a time, there was an ant who loved to eat apples. One day, while munching on an apple, the ant saw an airplane flying overhead. The ant was so fascinated by the airplane that he decided to go for a ride. He climbed aboard the airplane and off they went into the sky.

Suddenly, the airplane started to shake and the ant knew something was wrong. He looked out the window and saw that they were headed straight for an alligator who was sunbathing on a nearby tree branch. The ant quickly grabbed the ax and cut the tree branch, causing the alligator to fall into the water below.

The ant then quickly called for an ambulance, but the ambulance driver was afraid of the alligator and wouldn't come near the water. So, the ant used his quick thinking and transformed the airplane into an ambulance, and flew down to rescue the alligator.

Once the alligator was safely on board, the ant flew him back to shore and the alligator was grateful for the ant's bravery. From that day on, the ant and the alligator became the best of friends and loved to go on adventures together. The end.
