Once upon a time, there was an ant who had a big dream. He wanted to fly! His little colony of ants told him,”Hey Tommy! That's impossible, an ant cannot fly!”
But Tommy replied firmly, “You can say whatever you want to. I want to fly!”
Not a single ant stood beside him and supported his belief of flying. He was all alone. So one morning, Tommy got up and set upon a journey — a journey to find someone who could teach him to fly. After walking for a long, long time, he met Lilly the peahen.
“Hey Lilly! Can you teach me to fly?” asked Tommy.
“Well no, I cannot fly myself!' replied Lilly.
'What is the use of birds if they cannot fly?” said Tommy angrily and walked along.
He met a pigeon next. He asked the pigeon, “Can you teach me to fly? I have met a pea-hen who cannot fly but can you?”
The pigeon said, “Why do you doubt that. Don't you see my long feathers?”
“Even the pea-hen had long feathers, but she could not fly!” exclaimed Tommy.
“Don't worry, I can teach you,” said the pigeon.
"Wonderful!” said Tommy, with a gleam in his eyes. The pigeon had a plan. She fixed some feathers on the ant's body. Then, from a high platform, she pushed him. Tommy flapped his feathers very hard. But he fell down. Tommy was not really hurt, but had only bruised himself here and there. But he was hurt inside.
“I still cannot fly,” he thought to himself. He spoke some angry words to the pigeon, which startled her for she was just trying to help. He walked on, thinking what to do next. As he and his thoughts sped along, he reached a park. Some children were playing there. And one child was blowing bubbles!
You can imagine what happened next. Busy in his thought, Tommy walked along the garden path and even before knowing it, walked into a bubble. And as the bubble began to fly, Tommy, sitting in the bubble, began to fly too!
At first, he did not understand what was happening.He said to himself, “This is the silliest thing to happen to me after meeting a pea-hen who could not fly. Why, even the ground is the colour of the sky!” But then suddenly he realised that it was not the ground, it was the sky and he was flying!
His happiness knew no bounds. “I will tell the whole colony about this,” he thought as he danced in the sky. So friends, if an ant comes to you and says he wants to fly. Just put him in a bubble and let him fly off. Don't forget to give him a parachute though!
Moral:
Where there is a will there is a way.. so lets find a way to reach a will..
