Excerpt from The Book: "The Ant and the Bird"

Once upon a time, there was an ant who lived in a hole in a rock. The ant was very small, but it was very strong. One day, the ant was walking through the forest when it saw a bird that was caught in a net. The bird was crying and begging for help.The ant felt sorry for the bird, so it decided to help. The ant climbed up to the net and started to chew on the ropes. The ant chewed and chewed until the ropes were finally broken. The bird was so happy to be free, and it thanked the ant for its help.The bird and the ant became friends, and they would often play together in the forest. The ant learned that even though it was small, it could still be helpful. The bird learned that it was important to be grateful for help, no matter how small you are.
