NAME:

the vain ant

Deep inside the forest lived an army of hard-working ants. Among them was an ant, which did not like to work very much. She just kept getting dressed up and was too proud to work. She was a showy ant. Everyone praised her for her appearance. She also knew a lot of tricks to impress others. She was just never impressed by anyone but herself. Once, while looking for food, she went to the branch of a tree and found a strange object crawling on it. It was a caterpillar. The ant commented on how funny she looked. The caterpillar did not reply. The ant tried to cross the path and poked it with its antennae. The caterpillar continued to crawl. The ant got tired of trying to impress her, so she went about her business.

A few days later, she returned to the same branch. He saw the caterpillar and commented on how ugly it had become. She continued to make fun of the caterpillar and talked a lot about herself. A few more days passed. The ant went back to the tree and searched the branch hard for the caterpillar. But then he saw something strange and round hanging. The ant kept saying hello to her, but there was no answer. One day, while walking, she saw something flying close to her. The ant was surprised to see a dazzling butterfly around her. She couldn't recognize her. The butterfly told the ant that it had come out of the same cocoon it was teasing. The ant was very ashamed of his vanity. The butterfly asked the ant not to make fun of other people's appearance and not to be so arrogant. The ant agreed to be humble. Soon, it became a very popular ant, which was loved by everyone.
