What Happened by the Creek

I took some time off to sit by the creek. The water flowing past relaxed me. I lay down and fell asleep.

When I woke up, there was an ant sitting on my nose, looking sternly at me.

The ant said, “Excuse me, but you are laying on my home!”

I apologized, stood up, put the ant on my finger, and set it down on the ground.

The ant gave me the finger and went into the anthill.

My feelings were hurt.

I left, went to the pet store, and bought an aardvark. I came back, set the aardvark on the anthill, and waited.
