There was once an ant, who loved to play tricks on the other ants. 


One day the ant got an idea. Ant goes over to the other ants and starts yelling out “A HUMAN IS COMING HIDE, HIDE!!!”.


 All the ants in the colony packed their things hiding in the dirt hole. The ants waited and waited until sunset…they've just been tricked by the sneaky ant, there was no human coming their way.


 Ant kept doing this trick until the colony was fed up and stopped falling for it. Till this one day… there was actually a human coming towards the colony that ant noticed first. 


“A HUMAN IS COMING RUN RUN '' yelled the ant, “We won't fall for it again ant, just give up” replied the other ants. Ants face filled up with regrets, knowing no one believed her. 


The human got closer to the colony, “I’m gonna handle this myself” said the ant running towards the human.


 Ant took a big jump onto the human's feet crawling its way up while the human swiped its hand along the body in hope of getting the ant off. Ant was dodging those big hands with its super speed.


Ant took its last breath and speeded to the human's neck. 


Ant could see the big hand coming to the human's neck to slap the ant off, but just in time the ant bit the human. 


“Aughh” said the human while looking onto his hand that has a squashed ant stuck to it. This made the human not go any further and the colony was safe, by the sacrifice of the lying Ant.

The Lying Ant is a children's story, where animals speak and fight with humans.
