Ant's Quest for Water
Mimi Werna
Wiehan de Jager

One bright morning, the sun rose above the meadows.

1

Ant was thirsty but there was no water.

2

He was so thirsty he forgot where to find water.

3

Ant got an idea!

"I may be tiny but Giraffe is tall. I bet he can be my eyes!" He thought.

4

Giraffe looked and looked but didn't find any water.

5

Ant cheerfully asked Bird for help.

6

Bird flew up in the sky to look and look.

Bird drew a map for Ant.

7

Ant used a minute to imagine himself splashing water.

8

The map led Ant to the water.

He greedily drank from the river.

9

Ant was yet to drink his fill when he tilted and fell into the river.

10

"Oh well, I guess it's splish-splash time!" Ant announced.

11

Satisfied, Ant sat down.

"What a day!" he declared.
