The Ant Who Took a Coffee Break

by Curt Gunz

Once there was an ant who decided he didn’t want to work. He thought, “You know what? Gathering food is too hard. Besides, there are a bunch of ants in this ant hill. They can handle it. I think I’ll just take the morning off.”

And that is just what he did!

The other ants rushed by on their way to forage because they knew that winter was coming and they needed to get food.

Well, the ants each had an area near the ant bed to forage. But one area went unsearched because the ant who was supposed to be in that area that morning was on a coffee break.

It just so happened that a little girl had dropped a delicious red lollipop right in the area that the ant on the coffee break was supposed to be searching. It was the kind of lollipop that could feed a whole ant bed for a whole month.

Since the ant was on a coffee break no one from the ant bed found it. Instead the lollipop was harvested by the ants from the ant bed in the next yard.

The ant on the coffee break finally decided to get back to work that afternoon but by then it was too late. The lollipop was gone. (more…)
