In a huge city, humans were fighting with cockroaches over a building.

1

One day, cockroaches decided to have a meeting with the owner of the building.

They raised their concerns. "We have a problem with humans. They spray chemicals on us, and only you can help us."

2

The owner replied, "Well, you guys do not pay rent like humans do. Pay rent if you want me to listen to you. Before that happens, I would like to be left alone."

3

Cockroaches were very upset as the owner could not help them. They thought of another plan.

The next day, cockroaches built a strong shield that would protect them against any chemical sprayed on them.

4

Every day, humans would wake up to a pile of cockroaches. They would buy as many chemicals as they could get.

But every time they used them, cockroaches would lay on the floor and pretend to be dead.

5

Cockroaches were happy that the shields were working.

They all gathered to think of a plan that would make all humans leave the building for good.

6

Cockroaches decided to attack all humans at night. They planned to eat all their food and destroy their clothes.

In this way humans would get angry and leave the building.

7

Cockroaches did exactly as they had planned. All humans woke up to a huge mess in the building with no food to eat.

Humans packed their bags and left the building. Cockroaches lived happily ever after.
