It was summer time and most of the ants in Ant City were very busy. They collected food. They did chores around the house. They worked very hard.

But Lazy Ant laid on his back on top of a rock basking in the sun. He was very relaxed and happy.

Lazy Ant's father went to his office. He worked very hard. Lazy Ant's mother and sisters were very busy. They collected food. They cooked together. They set the table.

But Lazy Ant only glanced at them. He laid on the rock and whistled while he waited for them to finish.

Lazy Ant's father came home. He helped Mother Ant and Sister Ants set the table. Mother said, "It's time to eat!" Lazy Ant jumped up. He ran to the table. He was very hungry!

But Lazy Ant's mother became angry. She said, "No! You did not help our family with chores today. You only sat in the sun. I'm sorry there is no food for you now. You can take a bag and collect food if you want to eat."

Lazy Ant was shocked. He was sad. He took his bag and went outside to collect food.

He looked in the window. His family was eating together. They were smiling. They were laughing. Lazy Ant felt very alone.

Suddenly, Lazy Ant got an idea. He began to collect food and put it in his bag. He worked and worked until his bag was very full.

The next morning, Lazy Ant got up early. He cooked breakfast for his whole family. He shouted, "Breakfast is ready!"

Mother Ant was proud of Lazy Ant for working so hard. She gave him a hug. Father Ant patted him on the head. Sister Ant smiled at Lazy Ant.

The Ant Family all sat down together. They ate together. They laughed together. Lazy Ant smiled. He was happy.

From that day, Lazy Ant began to work hard. He offered to help his neighbors. He offered to help his friends. He offered to help his mother, father, and sisters.

All the ants in Aunt City were shocked by the change in his behavior. The elders of Ant City even celebrated the change in Lazy Ant's behavior with him.

From that day, Lazy Ant finally saw the importance of working together with others. He learned that working together creates peace, joy and harmony.
