STORYTIME: The Ant and the Tree --- Final Part

.. The little ant was running out of time, the men were getting ready to cut down the tree. Suddenly she had an idea: the little ant ran as fast as she could to the man with the biggest ax. She carefully and slowly crawled onto his shoe. Then she went up his sock until she was standing on his leg, and then, she bit him as hard as she could. The man screamed and shook his leg. The little ant fell down and crawled up the man´s leg and bit him again. One more time the man screamed and shook his leg. The little ant did this again and again until she grew very tired. The man´s leg started to get swollen and he angrily walked away from the forest. The tree was saved. It shook its branches and looked for the little ant. The tree saw it clinging from some grass. It bent down one branch and held the tired little insect. The tree cradled it softly until the little ant was feeling better. "You saved my life," the tree said, and the little ant happily replied: "I´m glad I could help."
