While surviving as such, the ants had to tackle a big challenge. They suffered during the rainy season due to the lack of food. The food stock hard earned during summer would be consumed, after which the ants would run out of food during the rainy season. Many of them, which went in search of food during the rainy days got washed away in rain and died. Poor ants did not know what to do to solve that problem and hence they were sad.

During such a rainy season, an ant found a huge amount of food. it was very happy but was worried as well, since it did not know how to carry all of that stuff to its home.

They moved togehter in a proper order and brought food to their residence. From that day onwards, they started moving around in a row always, started working as a team and lived a happy cordial life thereafter. ´´ 16 ´ «ðù£ H®ˆî ï†êˆFóƒèœ

Once upon a time, a poor villager named Remo travelled to a nearby city, in search of a job to survive. He could not get any job. Finally he came to know about a strange challenge announced by the king of that country. Any one, who could succeed in two challenges announced by the king can win the hands of the princess and can become the next king.

The king and Queen were surprised to see Remo volun- teer to accept the challenges. They personally they did not like the poor guy to marry their daughter. However, they started explaining the first challenge, such that Remo shall receive a hundred rabbits from the palace garden, maintain them for thirty days in any open area and then shall return them without any loss of rabbits. ªó«ñ£ ËÁ ºò™è¬÷Š ªðŸø¾ì¡ ÜõŸ¬ø «ï£‚A, “ï‡ð˜è«÷! â¡Âì«ù Þ¼ƒèœ” â¡Á Ü¡ð£è‚ «è†´‚ªè£‡ì£¡. ºò™èÀ‚°‹ Üõ¬ùŠ H®ˆ¶M†ì¶.

Remo received the hundred rabbits and said to them affec- tionately,“Friends, Please be with me!”All rabbits loved Remo and were with him. The king could not bear the thought of Remo winning the challenge. So, he went and met Remo on the twenty eighth day, and asked Remo to sell him one of the 42 ´ «ðù£ H®ˆî ï†êˆFóƒèœ

rabbits for a gold coin.
