Little Ant is having the worst day ever. Then he meets a praying mantis who is able to remain happy, even in the most difficult of circumstances. Will Little Ant learn his secret?
This is an original story, inspired by Aesop's The Hares and the Frogs, which teaches that there is always someone worse off than yourself. Little Ant's story avoids comparing oneself to others, and focuses instead on recognizing and appreciating the good things in one's life. The moral: count your blessings.
