Anti and Antolon story
One cold autumn day, a little ant named Anti wanted to take home a big piece of biscuit with all his might! He used to stand a little behind biscuit and push it. He would stand in front of it for a while and pull it with his hands and try to make it move!
As he was trying, one of his friends, whose name was Antolon, stood next to him and said:
Hello Anti! what are you doing? And when his eyes fell on the biscuit, he said:
Wow, what a big biscuit! It must be very heavy! Do you want me to help you?
Anti said:
No thanks! I can take it myself!
Antolone said:
This is very heavy! How are you going to take it alone? It is gonna be a hard work!
Anti said:
No! It is not difficult at all! I am very strong and I can handle it myself! Don’t you know that we ants can lift and move loads heavier than ourselves?!
Antolone said:
I did not say that you are not strong! By the way, you are very strong and powerful! And you are right! Ants can do this! But everything has a limit! For example, can we ants lift a big tree branch? Obviously we can’t! So we have to do our work together!
Anti said:
No need to cooperate! I always do my work myself and I don’t need anyone!
Antolone said:
OK! as you like! But if you need help, you can count on me!
Antolon left and Anti started pulling and pushing the biscuit again! It was almost noon and Antti still couldn’t shake the biscuit! He was very hungry! He said to himself:
Maybe if I eat a little of the biscuit, it will be lighter and I can move it! So he started eating biscuits!
When he was full, he looked at the biscuit and realized that its size had not shrunk too much! But he still stuck to his words and was not ready to ask anyone for help!
It was sunset and Sun went to sleep! Anti was tired, but he was only able to move the biscuit a little! That’s why he sat down on the floor and looked at the biscuit! He said to himself:
If I had accepted Antolon’s help in the morning, I would be sitting in my warm and soft house now!
But there was no one to help him! He looked around but did not see anyone! He looked above his head and suddenly he saw Busy, the little bee, flying! He called Busy and begged him to tell Antolon to come to his aid!
A few minutes passed and Anti was very cold! He was scared and thought that maybe Antolon was upset with his behavior in the morning and didn’t want to come to his aid!
Panda’s magic pencil story
One sunny day, little panda was tidying his room and putting his books inside the shelf. He would put some books that he had not yet read in front of him so that he could read them sooner.
When he was tidying up under his bed, he suddenly hit a big colored pencil. He took it out from under the bed and looked at it. He did not remember that he had such a large pencil before! He thought to himself:
Maybe I lost this pencil a long time ago and that’s why I don’t remember it!
That’s why he put the pencil on the table and went to arrange the rest of his room! After eating lunch, little panda decided to draw! He wanted to use his big pencil! He had a craving for a big delicious cake, so he painted a beautiful cake and when he was done, he blew on the drawing to remove the crayon powder from it. But suddenly a cake appeared on the table! The little panda was a little scared at first, but when he looked closer, he realized that this was the same cake he had painted.
He slowly moved his hand forward and ate a piece of it. It was very delicious! At that moment, a great thought came to the little panda’s mind! He could draw any food he wanted so that he could and eat it!
From that day on, the little panda painted and ate everything he wanted, such as chocolate, chips, ice cream and puffs, and even very fatty foods such as pizza and lasagna!
It went on like this for a while and the little panda had gained a lot of weight. He was walking very hard and could not fit in the chair in his room anymore!
His belly had grown so much and had come forward that he could no longer see his legs! Until one day after eating a piece of pizza that he had painted, he had a severe stomachache! He got dizzy and fell to the ground!
When he opened his eyes, Dr. Goat was standing above him! He said to the little panda:
You ate too much! From now on, you should be careful about what you eat and you should exercise!
When Doctor Goat left, Little Panda took a look at his own image in the mirror! and He was very surprised! He was very fat! Big belly and big hands and feet! He got so upset!
Now he understood why he walks so hard and can’t play with his friends like before! From that day on, the little panda started to exercise and eat healthy food! Once he wanted to throw away his magic pencil! But he thought to himself:
Why should I throw it away?! I can paint healthy foods with it! Like apples, oranges, lettuce and broccoli!
Every day that passed, the little panda got healthier and felt better! He had turned into the same cute and beautiful little panda and could play with his friends again!
One day when he was coming back from the game, he went to take the magic pencil and draw a fruit with it, but no matter what he looked, he couldn’t find it! That magic pencil disappeared as suddenly as it was found! But the little panda was very happy and promised himself to eat every food in measure from then on! Even if it is very tasty.
