I wonder why:

                Ants bite human beings

Once upon a time there lived some ants who lived together in peace. One day three ant villagers visited the king. They complained to the king saying “Oh king of all ants we have come to let you know about this human. Sincerely, we were to be four, but our ant friend Louis was going to fetch some snacks from a giant table. Then suddenly, a huge giant [ humans] squished louis our dear friend into powder”. This they said crying and smuggling together.

                                         So, the king replied saying “what! Well, I’ve never heard of these so called giants or humans. Well you know what, next time I hear about this we are going to fight back and we are going to teach the humans a lesson. So the ants went back with sorrow of their ant friend’s death.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

                     WE STRIKE [1]

One day, a group of ant scouts were picnicking in a garden. Then an ant volunteered to go and look for food while the other ants should go and get some apples, so as the other ant went to look for food he saw a table with a lot of food on it. So the ant decided to go and get some of the food from the table, so as he went to collect some food a big giant saw the little ant trying to collect sweets from the table, then suddenly, the giant used his big foot to smash the little ant, This the other ants saw and ran back to the kingdom so they could inform the king on what had happened. There, they said with their little voices “Oh king we have come to tell you on what has happened. One of the humans has killed our ant friend.” When the king heard this he was so angry that this time, they had to strike back.

                           The king declared war on the humans that evening at 5:00pm.

                                     WE STRIKE [2]

In the evening at the time declared, they all took a weapon each and went straight to the human world where they bit and chewed on the human skins. So in the morning, the humans woke up finding out that the ants had invaded them. They scratched and scratched and scratched. The humans had a meeting a man suggested “Hey I know an old wise man. He speaks and listens to ant. Maybe he could ask them why they have troubled us”. He said while he scratched his foot.  They all agreed.

                 They passed through a cave and found him skipping rocks across a river. He agreed to follow them. When they got to the ants, the old wise man asked the ants why they were attacking the humans. The ants replied “well, you humans have been killing our people for no reason”. The humans replied to this saying “that’s a lie. You tiny pests feed on our food and make them contaminated and this is not fair. You don’t even ask so that is why we kill you and your friends”.

                       It was time for the old man to settle the case after he had heard from both sides. The old man said “So the only way to settle this. You both have to accept the consequences because, ants want to feed on human’s food and then humans get angry and kill them. SO take you desire and take consequences too”. The old man turned into a white dove and flew away. So the humans and ants settled as the old man said.

                          The ants went back, and the humans went separate ways.

                                                  AND THAT IS WHY ANTS BITE HUMAN BEINGS.

                                                          THE End.
