Once upon a time, there was a very dense forest, an assortment of animals, such as from ants, elephants, tigers, rhinos, birds and so on lived there. On day there were very powerful storms. The storm came at once and made panic the animals of the forest. All animals got panic.

The next day, the sun come up warmly the melodious sound of birds are chirping. Many trees in the forest were uprooted into a mess.

A cocoon was crying and grieving for what had happened in a fallen tree. "Hu .. hoo ... how sad. The storm left us horrible thing but nowhere was safe for shelter .. huhu .." lamented the sad cocoon.

From beneath of the ground, there was an ant who arrogantly said, "Hi cocoon, look at me. I'm protected from the storm yesterday, not like you. Look at your body, you just stuck in a tree that fell and could not get shelter from the storm" said the ant proudly.

The ant became more arrogant and continued to say this to all the animals in the forest. Then one day the ant was walking on the mud of life. The ant do not know if he was walking on guide mud it can swallow and pull something into the mud.

"Help me... please. I got stuck in the mud.. please," cried the ant. Then a voice from above, "I think you are in trouble aren’t you?" The ant looked arround to find the source of the voice. It turned out that the sound was coming from a flying butterfly above the mud.

"Who are you?" asked the ant upset. "I was the cocoon then you contemptible" said the butterfly. Ant felt ashamed and asked for help to the butterfly out  him from the sucking mud. "Help me butterfly, I'm sorry I was so arrogant at that time taking." The butterfly eventually helped  the ant. The ant promised he would not insult  other creatures in the forest anymore.
