Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived an ant named Andy. Andy was a hardworking ant who loved to spend his days collecting food for his colony. One day, as Andy was out foraging for food, he came across a bug. The bug was very small and helpless, and Andy knew that he had to help.

"Don't worry, little bug," said Andy. "I'll take you back to my colony, and we'll take care of you."

The bug was so grateful to Andy that it decided to follow him back to the colony. When they arrived, the other ants welcomed the bug with open arms. They gave it a warm place to sleep and plenty of food to eat.

As the bug was recovering, it told Andy and the other ants about a cat that had been terrorizing the forest. The cat had been chasing all of the animals and had even eaten some of them.

The ants knew that they had to do something to stop the cat, so they came up with a plan. They told a nearby dog about the cat and asked for its help. The dog was happy to oblige and set out to find the cat.

The cat was caught by surprise when the dog appeared and chased it away. The animals of the forest were so grateful to the dog and to the ants for their help.

After the cat was gone, the animals decided to throw a big party to celebrate. They invited a frog, a pig, and even a fox to join in the fun.

Everyone had a great time dancing and singing, and the bug even found a hat that it could wear. From that day on, the ant colony, the dog, and the other animals lived in peace and harmony.

The End.

3. Why do you think the ants decided to ask the dog for help with the cat?
4. What do you think the ant colony, dog, and other animals learned from their experience?
