A new mess

A new mess

It was a sunny day in the back garden. A little Red Ant was happily walking through the green grass to her house. There, her parents were waiting for her because they had good news.

Once at home, little Red Ant found something strange in her room: a new small bed. Mummy Red Ant looked at her and said:

-          “Do you like it?”

-          “Yes ... but ... what’s for?” – said little Red Ant surprised.

-          “Well, a baby is coming home. You’ll have a little brother to play with and we need to make some changes at home” – Mummy explained.

Little Red Ant didn’t answer and stared at the little bed. Mummy went out of the room and her daughter stayed there alone thinking about the news.

A few hours later, after buying some presents, Mummy noticed that the house was a mess. Little Red Ant had taken all her toys off her room and were all around the house.

-          “What’s this? – Mummy asked angrily.

-           “What’s wrong with that? It makes room for new people.” – little Red Ant replied.

And Mummy realised that that her daughter was working really hard to make space in her room for her new brother.
