    Andy was a hardworking ant, always busy, running around the anthill, carrying food from sunrise to sunset. He believed that rest was for the weak.

    However, one day, Andy felt extremely tired. He had been working non-stop, and his little body began to give up. He felt weak and exhausted.

    Andy's condition did not go unnoticed by the Queen Ant. She was concerned about Andy, so she summoned him to her chamber.

    Andy, despite his exhaustion, made his way to the queen's chamber. He stood before the queen, trembling slightly with fatigue.

    The queen looked at Andy and said, 'Andy, you are one of the most dedicated ants in our colony, but you need to understand the importance of rest and recovery.'

    She continued, 'Everyone needs rest to regain strength. Even I rest. It's not a sign of weakness but a necessity for a healthy life.'

    Andy took the queen's advice to heart. He began to schedule rest periods throughout his day, ensuring he had time to recover from his hard work.

    He realized that by taking breaks, he could work more efficiently and effectively. His strength increased, and he felt happier and more energetic.

    Andy's change was noticed by the other ants. They saw how much healthier and happier he seemed, and they began to follow his example.

    Soon, the entire anthill began to function more efficiently. The ants were more productive, and they had more energy to carry out their tasks.
