Once upon a time, there was a busy small ant named Antoinette. She was very clever and always found ways to solve problems with her smart mind. One day, she came across a tall and pretty ladybug who was struggling to carry a heavy load of leaves. Antoinette being kind, offered to help. The ladybug gratefully accepted and together they carried the leaves to their destination. The old and strong beetle who lived nearby was impressed by their teamwork and said, "You two are funny and clever, just like me when I was young." And so, Antoinette and the ladybug became the best of friends, always working together and having fun.
