介绍:
March to the Park
The ants were getting ready to work.
It was a fine day to go to work in the park.
“Don’t forget!” said Dexter, the leader
ant. “We are a team. We work together, and
we will share all the food we find!”
All the ants nodded their heads.
All but one. His name was Rudy, and
he had a plan.
The ants marched to the park. They
looked around and smiled. All over the park,
they saw people having picnics. There were
sandwiches, cookies, and chips laid out on
paper plates.
“This way!” said Dexter, and all the ants
turned left.
All but one. Rudy wanted to be a star.
He wanted to show Dexter that he was the
strongest and smartest ant on the team.
So Rudy turned right.
The ants marched up to one blanket.
“Oh, wow!” said Dexter. “We will carry a
feast of crumbs back home.”
Dexter told the team what to do. The
ants picked up sandwich crumbs, and cookie
crumbs, and chip crumbs. All the ants picked
up crumbs.
All but one ant.
Rudy was all alone, staring up at a big,
fat slice of cake. To the little ant, the cake
was as big as a mountain! Rudy looked back
at the other ants. They were all busy, helping
to pick up crumbs.
“I will be a star,” thought Rudy. “I will
carry home this big, fat slice of cake all
by myself.”
Rudy tried to lift one side of the cake,
but it would not move. He tried to lift the
other side, but it would not move. Then he
had an idea.
“If I eat a bit of cake, I can get under
it. Then I can lift the cake on my back,”
thought Rudy. “Yes, that will work!”
So Rudy ate a bit of cake. Then he got
under it. He tried to lift the big, fat slice of
cake. He lifted it a little. Then he lifted it
some more.
The cake went UP . . . UP . . . UP . . .
and then it came DOWN—right on top
of Rudy.
“Help! Help!” he cried. “I’m stuck under
the cake!” He waved his back legs, hoping
someone would see him.
Dexter heard Rudy’s cry.
“Come on,” Dexter shouted. He led the
whole team to help Rudy. Eight ants lifted
one side of the cake. Eight ants lifted the
other side of the cake. UP . . . UP . . . UP
. . . and Rudy was free!
Rudy wiped the frosting from his face.
“Thank you,” he said. “I’m so glad that I am
part of this team!”
“It looks like there is plenty of food to
share,” Dexter said with a grin. “Let’s eat!”
