    In a bustling city, nestled between towering buildings, was a tiny ant hill. In this hill lived a little ant named Andy, who had a big dream to visit the garden across the busy road.

    Andy could see his friends playing in the garden from his hill, but the fear of the road kept him away. The cars zoomed by at lightning speed, making him shudder with fear.

    One day, Andy's father, a wise old ant named Arthur, noticed his son's longing gaze towards the garden. He decided to teach him a valuable lesson about life.

    "Son," Arthur began, "Life is full of obstacles. It's up to us to overcome them. Just like this road, they may seem scary, but there's always a way across."

    Andy listened attentively, his fear subsiding slightly. He asked, "But how do I cross this road, father? It's so big and I'm so small."

    Arthur chuckled, "Remember Andy, it's not the size of the ant in the fight, but the size of the fight in the ant. You just need to be brave."

    Andy took a deep breath and nodded, feeling a spark of courage. He decided to face his fear and cross the road the next day.
