Once upon a time, there was a tiny colony of ants who lived in the forest. One day, one of the ants discovered a recipe for the sweetest sugar cake ever. He was so impressed by this recipe that he decided to bake it himself.

But there was one problem, he made a mistake and added 10 times the amount of sugar the recipe called for. The other ants were so excited to taste the cake but when they took a bite, their eyes widened and they couldn't stop laughing! The cake was so sweet that it made them do silly things like tumble and wiggle.

From that day on, the tiny colony of ants only baked the sugar cake on special occasions and always made sure to follow the recipe correctly. The end.
