The Ant and the Dog

The ant had been living in a huge unclean house ever since she

hatched. One day, she felt really bored and wanted to leave the
nasty house so badly. She couldn’t find a way to get out beyond
the garden until she saw the house’s pet, Max the dog. The ant
asked Max if she could just climb on his back so he would take her

when he left. Max was scared to do so at first because he thought
that the ant would bite him on the way out. He told her to promise
him first that she wouldn’t bite and he would take her outside.
