Tiny Ant's Heavy Load

Once upon a time, in a big green garden, there lived a tiny ant named Andy. Andy was very small, but he was very strong. Every day, Andy worked hard to carry food back to his ant hill. One sunny morning, Andy found a big, juicy strawberry. It was red and sweet, but oh so heavy! Andy tried to lift it. He pushed and pulled. He huffed and puffed. "I can do it!" said Andy. "I will not give up!" Andy's friend, Bella the Butterfly, saw him struggling. She wondered if the little ant could carry such a big load all by himself.

Andy's Big Discovery

Andy saw a big red strawberry. It looked yummy! He wanted to take it home. Andy pushed. Andy pulled. Andy tried and tried. "Oh, it's so heavy!" said Andy. But Andy didn't give up. He kept trying. Bella the Butterfly flew by. She saw Andy working hard. "What are you doing, Andy?" asked Bella. "I'm trying to move this strawberry," said Andy. Bella watched Andy push and pull. She saw how hard he worked. "That's a big job for a little ant," said Bella. Andy smiled. "I can do it!" he said. "I will not give up!"

Friends Come to Help

Bella flew around the garden. She told her friends about Andy's big job. Caterpillar Carl wiggled over. Bee Betty buzzed by. "We can help!" said Carl. "Let's try together!" said Betty. They all gathered around the strawberry. "Push, push, push!" they said. Andy pushed. Carl pushed. Betty pushed. "Pull, pull, pull!" they said. Bella flapped her wings to help. They pushed and pulled. The strawberry didn't move. "We can do it!" said Andy. "Let's try again!" said Betty. They all took a deep breath. They were ready to try once more.

Teamwork Saves the Day

Andy stood tall and said, "This way, friends!" They all pushed and pulled together. Little by little, the strawberry moved. "Almost there!" Andy cheered. Inch by inch, they rolled the strawberry. Sometimes it was hard, but they didn't give up. "We can do it!" they said. Finally, they reached the ant hill. The other ants were surprised. "Wow!" they said. "Look at that big strawberry!" Everyone was happy and excited. Andy smiled at his friends. "Thank you for helping," he said. The ants all worked together to bring the strawberry inside. It was a big day for little Andy and his friends.

A Sweet Celebration

The ants had a big party at the ant hill. Andy and his friends shared the yummy strawberry with everyone. "Yum, yum, yum!" said the happy ants as they ate. Andy smiled at his friends. "Thank you for helping me," he said. The other ants cheered for Andy. "You did a great job!" they said. Andy felt proud. He learned something important. "Together, we can do big things!" Andy told everyone. All the ants nodded and said, "Together, we can do big things!" From that day on, the ants always worked together. They never gave up, just like Andy. And they lived happily ever after.
