Once upon a time, there was a community of red ants which lived behind a pine tree. Where the tallest oak tree was, there lived the black ants community. Red ants hated black ants because they lived in tallest tree of the forest. When the hard rain of April fell, the black antes were desperate. They had to evacuate their home and didn´t want to do it.
Red queen mother was watching at the news. She noticed the black ant’s situation. Immediately, she announced a general meeting with her community. She felt empathy towards the blacks.
“Good Morning. Considering the black ant´s problem I have decided to help them”.
“Are you mad?. They are our enemies.” said the prime minister.
“No. Think what you are saying, we are all ants. We must help our siblings”. Replied the queen.
“What´s wrong with that?” said little red ant. “It makes room for new people”.
“What do you mean by it?” asked queen mother.
“Let´s dig! We have to dig deeper and that will make room for new people.” Said little red ant.
“Good idea! I will let the blacks know about our decision.” exclaimed the queen.
Three days later, the blacks and the reds were living all together as a whole and unique community. They forgot about their anger towards each other.
I find the story a little weird. I think it’s not a logical situation that the black ants need help from the red ants. The introduction reads that the blacks lived in the tallest tree of the forest. So, they shouldn’t have been affected by the rains. What do you think?
