In a lush green park, Little Ant was always on the move. One day, he saw a shiny apple atop the tall tree and decided to get it.

He told his friends about the apple. They laughed and said, 'Why work so hard? Let's just relax.' But Little Ant was determined.

Little Ant started his journey up the tree. It was tough, but he didn't give up. He climbed higher and higher, always focused on the apple.

Meanwhile, his friends were still relaxing. They watched Little Ant climb and laughed, 'Look at him, always working. What a waste of time!'

Finally, after hours of hard work, Little Ant reached the top. He was tired but happy. The apple was even more beautiful up close.

Down below, his friends saw him at the top and were surprised. But they shrugged and said, 'Well, he did all the work. We can just wait for him to drop the apple.'

Suddenly, a gust of wind shook the tree. Little Ant held on tight. The apple fell from the branch, but he managed to grab it.

His friends saw the apple falling and ran towards it. But they were too late. The apple hit the ground and burst open, spoiling it.

Little Ant slowly descended the tree, holding the apple. He was careful not to drop it. His hard work had finally paid off.

His friends were disappointed. They had lost the apple because they were too lazy to work. They realized their mistake but it was too late.

Little Ant enjoyed the apple while his friends watched. They learned a valuable lesson that day - hard work always pays off and procrastination leads to loss.

From that day on, they never procrastinated and always helped Little Ant. They understood the disadvantages of procrastination and the importance of hard work.
