Big-head Ant was a
good farmer.
He lived in the
ground with his
family.
They worked very
hard on their farm.
Ant's family lived
well.
Pigeon was Ant's
neighbour.
Pigeon lived in a
tree with her
family.
Pigeon and her
family did not
farm.
They rested all day.
Pigeon and her
family were very
good singers.
"Share your food?"
Pigeon asked Ant.
"No! Go and farm!"
replied Ant.
Pigeon flew down
and began to sing,
"Ant is king!"
"Ant is king! Ant is
king! Ant is king!"
Ant loved this song.
After they ate,
Pigeon and her
family flew up to
their tree.
The next day,
Pigeon mocked
Ant.
"Do kings have big
heads?" she
laughed.
"You are ungrateful
and lazy!"
complained Ant.
"I am sorry!" said
Pigeon, and began
to sing, "Ant is
king!"
