One day, a little ant named Tim was walking in the sun. It was very hot. Tim was looking for food to take back to his ant hill. He found a big, sweet apple on the ground. Tim was very happy.
As Tim was trying to move the apple, he saw big, dark clouds in the sky. "Oh no, it will rain soon!" said Tim. His friend Sam came by and said, "Tim, you should come back to the ant hill. It will not be safe out here when it rains." But Tim did not want to leave the apple.
The rain started to fall. Big drops of water came down from the sky. Tim tried to move the apple, but it was too heavy. The rain got stronger and the ground began to flood. Tim was scared and called for help, "Sam, please help me!"
But it was too late. The water washed Tim and the apple away. Sam was sad, but he knew that he had to go back to the ant hill to be safe. Tim should have listened to his friend and left the apple behind.
