Once upon a time, there was a tiny ant named Anty who lived in a big forest. Anty was very unhappy because she was so small. She wanted to be big and strong like the other ants in her colony.
One day, Anty stumbled upon a magical magnifying glass. She picked it up and looked through it, and to her surprise, she saw that everything around her was huge! She was so happy and decided to use the magnifying glass to her advantage.
Anty went around the forest and started to lessen the size of all the big trees. She reduced their size with the magnifying glass, making them the perfect size for her to climb. Anty was having so much fun and felt so powerful.
Next, Anty decided to maximize her fun by multiplying the size of all the delicious berries she found. She magnified them to be ten times their original size, and she was able to eat as many as she wanted without feeling full. Anty was in berry heaven!
But, as Anty was feeling happy and full, she realized that she had made a big mistake. She had magnified the size of everything so much that she was now stuck on top of a giant berry bush! She couldn't get down, and all the other ants were too small to help her.
Desperate for a solution, Anty tried to shrink herself back to her original size. But, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't shrink. Anty was stuck on top of the giant berry bush, and she was starting to feel very silly.
Just then, a wise old beetle came by. He saw Anty's predicament and asked her what had happened. Anty told the beetle all about the magical magnifying glass, and the beetle knew just what to do.
The beetle told Anty to subtract the power of the magnifying glass by removing it from her sight. Anty did as she was told, and, to her amazement, she started to shrink back to her original size. She was finally able to get down from the giant berry bush.
From that day on, Anty learned to be careful with the power of magnification. She used it wisely and only when she needed to, and she was always sure to shorten her fun before it got out of hand. And, most importantly, Anty learned to raise herself up and be proud of who she was, no matter what size she was.
