The Ant's Dilemma

The ants were out looking for food one day as someone had left a lot of breadcrumbs on the floor. They moved tiny breadcrumbs to and fro carrying them back to their nest for food and storage. Many ants scurried about working hard to remove all the crumbs from where they lay on the floor’s surface. Jack the Ant came across one large and delicious breadcrumb that was so big that he could not move it at all on his own. He tried to maneuver it this way and that but it would not budge a millimeter. Along came his friend Bob, another worker who was also out foraging for food for the nest. ‘Here let me help you and let us see if the two of us can move this big tasty crumb together.’ But still the breadcrumb was too large and would hardly move for the weight of it even between the effort of two ants together. Soon Pete the Ant came along and saw Jack and Bob battling with the large and delicious crumb of all crumbs. ‘Here let me add my effort to the task as well,’ he said. And surely enough, between the combined effort of three strong ants, they were now able to carry away the super large breadcrumb with ease. Three is stronger than one. Teamwork is sure to get any big job done at the end of the day.
