Successful Ant

Written by: Abdullah Fazli

Once upon a time, many ants were living in a wall of house in a village. It was spring days and wheat plants were unripe. Skinny ant and his friend, White ant knew that after climbing the wall, they can reach to the wheat field.

A winged ant was preventing them from going to the wheat field and warned them that if they go there, they may face some problems but they did not care about his warn and went out of their house.

They tried so many times to climb the wall but they fell back on the ground.

The Yellow ant was looking around but he did not see the winged ant. Finally, they reached the top of the wall.

On the other hand, Winged ant thought that the Skinny and Yellow might eat all the grains and he would remain hungry, so he flew to the top of the wall and spread dust on these two ants and they fell from the wall.

The Winged ant reached the field and started collecting grains.

When Yellow and Skinny ant climbed again the wall, this time, they saw a spider was coming toward them and the Winged ant was happily collecting grains and he called to the spider to eat his delicious food.

The Yellow and Skinny understood that the Winged ant had sent the spider to eat them. Skinny and Yellow hid under a big stone till the spider left the place and they reached the wheat field. When the Winged ant saw them in the field, he got angry, he went toward the farmer who was sleeping and a bottle of insecticide was beside him. The Winged ant awakened the farmer by biting him. The farmer took the insecticide bottle to spray the field.  The Skinny and Yellow had already left the field.

The Winged ant had forgotten his grains in the field and he went back to the field to take them. Meanwhile, the farmer sprayed the field. The Winged ant cried.

When the Skinny and Yellow ants heard the crying of the Winged ant, they went back to the field and rescued the winged from dying.

When the Winged ant regained his consciousness, he saw that Skinny and Yellow ants were helping him, he regretted it and said that I was always preventing them from going to the wheat field by creating problems, but on the contrary, I faced the problem, but it was good that they saved me and I understood that success means trying and not being disappointed.
