March to the Park

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. ”
