📖 Short Story: The Busy Ant

There was a little ant named John.
One day, John found a big cube of sugar on the ground.

He tried to carry the sugar cube home all by himself, but it was very heavy. John tried again and again, but he could not lift it.

So, John called his friends for help. Soon, many ants came running.
Together, they lifted the sugar cube and carried it safely to their home.

All the ants were happy and shared the sugar with each other.

 

🌟 Moral of the Story: Together, we can achieve anything.
