STORYTIME: The Ant and the Tree -- Part 2

... The little ant went back to her pile and continued her work. The next day, when she was tired from all her hard work, she went back to sit under her tree. She rested under its shade and sighed happily. Suddenly, a little green leaf fell from one of the branches and landed next to the little ant. The ant grabbed it and nibbled on it a bit. It was the most delicious little green leaf she had ever tasted. The ant could not help but say, "Oh, big tree, thank you for this delicious leaf. It has filled my stomach so well." The big tree shook its branches and said, "I´m glad I could help."
