Once upon a time, there was a baby who loved to read books. One day, while reading, the baby dropped a cookie on the ground. An ant came along and smelled the delicious aroma of the cookie. The ant asked the baby for a taste, but the baby wouldn't share. The ant became very upset and decided to take matters into his own hands. He took his tiny scissors and cut the banana in half. The ant then used the banana as a boat and sailed to an apple tree. The ant climbed the tree and found a big, juicy apple. The ant took a bite and was so pleased with the sweet taste that he decided to bring some back to the baby as a thank you for the cookie. The baby was so happy with the apple that they shared the rest of their cookie with the ant. From that day on, the baby and the ant became the best of friends, always sharing and helping each other. The end.
