A wah, yelled Willow the ant as he lifted and pushed the car tire off of his ant hill. His aunt family thanked him as they made their way out of the hole.

Nance, one of the ants said gratefully as they passed out of the hole and into the parking lot. Moving cars off of his ant hill was no big deal for Willow. He was the strongest ant in the universe, well, at least the strongest ant on on Earth. Willow hadn't met any space ants yet. Willow the ant usually spent his days helping out the creatures of the park, saving them from peril and all shapes and sizes like giant circle shaped car tires that were parked on top of their homes. But at night, Willow became.

The unbeatable ant and.

The most famous professional wrestler in the world. People came from miles around to see him wrestle all sorts of creatures into submission, human, platypus, tiger. Willow had wrestled them all so far he was undefeated. Willow's trophies wouldn't fit inside his ant hill, so he had to repurpose them as bird baths around the park. He called home, Hey, Willow, you ready for the big match?

Tonight?

Tonight?

Willow's best friend, Matteo the Mouse, scampered up beside him. Make surial, Willow said, as he hopped up between Mateo's fuzzy brown ears. Tonight, Willow had a wrestling match against his sworn nemesis, the ant eater Dundun Dun. Although he wasn't allowed to actually eat Willow during the match, his long, vacuum like snout made him a ferocious opponent or anyone.

And let's go get some lunch, squeaked Mateo. I'm starving, so with will on his head, Matteo took off towards the picnic area of the park. A group of kids had just arrived to the park for a field trip, and we're sitting down to eat. Mateo and Willow sniffed the air, catching the scent of all types of delicious goodies like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Oh and even apple slices. Mm hmm cheese, said Matteo dreamily. Then he asked Willow, what crumbs are you going for today? Willow use his antennas to scan the air. I'm going for.

The beef jerky. I need some protein to keep up my muscle for the match.

The two friends separated, each on their own mission to feast on the fallen crumbs beneath the children's feet and out of their sight. Willow had located the beef jerky with the super ant senses and waited below, waiting for a few crumbs to fall. As Willow waited, he heard the children's voices above. What are those cookies? Yeah, my mom made them for me. Oh, I want some, so give them a me. No, hey, give those back. There was movement around the bench as the kids dropped a piece of beef jerky that Willow had been waiting for. It finally fell, but after hearing the voices, his plans changed. Sounded like a child was bowling another one.

There was no time for eating. Willow needed to do something. Willow the Ant pulled on his professional wrestling mask, which was made out of a blade of grass tied around his face. He munched out a spot for his eyes before tying it on. Now that he had his mask on, everyone would recognize him as the Unbeatable and and And. He scurried up the table leg and squeezed up through the wooden table boards.

You there, drop those cookies.

The kid who had stolen the cookies looked stunned. Umm, it's it's it's you, the Unbeatable land.

Yes, it's me. I heard there was a cookie thief up here.

Yes, it's me. I heard there was a cookie thief up here.

It sounded like bullying, and the unbeatable Land does not like bullies. Now, give the cookies back, or I will have to use my most famous move, the munching mandibles I've madehem.

He snapped his mandibles for effect. The cookie thief's eyes grew wide.

And powerful wrestling moves, and he didn't want any part of it. He handed the cookies back to the classmate that had taken them earlier. After they had their cookies back and thanked Willow, Willow thought his mission was done. He was about to head back under the table to see about that piece of beef jerkey when he heard a sad sniffle. Looking over, will saw the kid he had called a bully cookie thief?

Are you crying?

The kid sniffled again. I'm not a thief and I'm not a bully. I just wanted some cookies. I don't ever get cookies for lunch. Willow was shocked. He didn't mean to call anyone names like that, but suddenly his appearance didn't feel as heroic anymore. He spoke to the kid, I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt your feelings. But if you wanted cookies, why didn't you just ask? Ask? The kid sniffled, confused, Yes, ask, you could have asked if you could have a cookie, you could have shared. I didn't think of that, responded the kid. So Willow taught the kid how to ask nicely for things that they might want, while the kid with the cookie was more than happy to share a cookie with their new friend. Now Willow felt helpful and heroic again. It was important to stand up for people, but it was also important to know when to be kind and teach others how to get along. He had learned that. Today. Willow headed back down and finally got to eat that beef turkey he had been waiting for. He picked up the table and moved it so the birds could come down and join him for some leftovers too. He had enjoyed his day with Matteo, helping others and preparing for his big wrestling match. That anteater doesn't have a clue what's coming for him with the.
