Once upon a time, in a peaceful forest, there was a baby ant who loved to read books. One day, the baby ant stumbled upon a book about cookies and was inspired to bake one. The baby ant asked its mother for an apple to make an apple cookie. The mother ant agreed and gave the baby ant an apple.
The baby ant began to cut the apple into small pieces and mix it with some flour to make a delicious batter. Just as the baby ant was about to put the batter in the oven, a human baby appeared and snatched the cookie! The baby ant was heartbroken but then it had an idea.
It climbed onto the baby's hand and whispered into its ear, "Excuse me, can I have my cookie back?" The human baby was so surprised that it dropped the cookie, and the ant baby happily took it back and ate it with joy. From then on, the baby ant and the human baby became friends and would often share cookies and books together.
