Once upon a time, there was a car named Chuck who loved to drive around the city. One day, he got a flat tire and had to pull over to change it. As he was fixing the tire, an ant walked by and asked what was wrong. Chuck explained his situation and the ant offered to help. But as they were working, an alligator appeared and started chasing them! The ant quickly grabbed an apple from a nearby tree and threw it at the alligator, making it stop in its tracks. The alligator then sat down to eat the apple and Chuck and the ant quickly gathered their tools and jumped into the car. They drove away as fast as they could, laughing and thanking the brave ant for saving them. As they drove off into the sunset, they saw a cat sitting on a cup and waving goodbye. The end.

Reflections

2. How did the alligator stop chasing Chuck and the ant?
3. Why was the cat sitting on a cup at the end of the story?
4. How did Chuck and the ant feel when they drove away from the alligator?
