One day, a smart ant saw a big tower. The ant wanted to go to the top of the tower. The ant started to walk up the tower. It was a long way up. As the ant walked, it met a bee. The bee said, "I can fly you to the top of the tower." The ant said, "No, thank you. I want to walk up the tower by myself." The bee said, "Okay, good luck!" and flew away. The ant kept walking up the tower. It was very hard, but the ant did not give up. The ant finally reached the top of the tower. The ant was very happy. But the ant saw that the tower was dirty. The ant decided to wipe the tower clean. While the ant was wiping, the bee came back. The bee saw the clean tower and said, "Wow, you did a great job!" The ant smiled and said, "Thank you! I did it by myself." The bee and the ant became friends. They learned that it is good to work hard and be clean. They also learned that being smart and kind can make new friends.
