One day, a little girl named Sue and her dog, Max, went for a walk in the park. They saw a big tree with lots of red and purple jam on it. Sue and Max thought it was very strange, but they both liked jam, so they went to take a closer look. 
As they got closer to the tree, they saw a group of ants joining together to carry the jam away. Sue and Max watched as the ants worked together to take the jam to their home. They were very good at working together.
Sue had an idea. She asked the ants if she and Max could join them and help carry the jam. The ants were happy to have Sue and Max help. They all worked together and carried the jam to the ant's home. But when they got there, they found out the jam was not really jam – it was paint! The ants had been taking paint from a painter's bucket nearby. Everyone laughed at the silly mix-up, and Sue and Max made new friends with the ants.
