    Once upon a time, in a bustling farm, lived a wise hen named Henny. She was known for her beautiful golden feathers and her warm-hearted nature.

    Not far from the henhouse, there lived a tiny ant named Anton. Despite his size, Anton was very strong and hardworking, always bustling around the farm.

    One sunny day, Henny was pecking at grains scattered on the ground. She noticed Anton struggling to carry a grain that was much bigger than him.

    Seeing Anton's struggle, Henny decided to help him out. She gently nudged the grain with her beak, making it easier for Anton to carry.

    Anton was surprised and grateful. From that day on, a unique friendship blossomed between Henny and Anton. They began to spend a lot of time together.

    They would play hide and seek in the farmyard, Henny hiding behind the henhouse and Anton beneath the leaves. The farm was filled with their merry laughter.

    Henny taught Anton about the different grains and insects found in the farm, while Anton showed Henny the complex tunnels he built with his ant friends.

    The other animals on the farm were amazed by their unique friendship. They had never seen a hen and an ant being such good friends before.

    Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Henny and Anton's friendship grew stronger. They were always there for each other, sharing joys and hardships.

    One day, a strong wind blew across the farm. Henny was worried about Anton. She knew his home could be destroyed by the strong winds.

    Henny quickly ran to the spot where Anton's home was. She saw that the entrance to the ant hill was blocked by a large leaf blown by the wind.

    Henny hurriedly scratched the ground with her feet, clearing the leaf and the dirt. She was relieved to see Anton and his friends emerge from the ant hill.

    Anton was grateful for Henny's help. He knew that without her, he and his friends would have been trapped in their home. He thanked Henny with all his heart.

    From that day on, the bond between Henny and Anton became even stronger. They both understood that their friendship was special and cherished it even more.

    Henny and Anton continued to spend their days together, playing and helping each other. They became an example of true friendship for all the animals on the farm.
