Red And Black
There are two ants that accidentally fell on the ground due to strong winds. These ants live in two different trees standing very close to each other.
The red ant saw its treehouse collapsed and fell on the ground. The black ant saw it too and quivered, thinking that it's own treehouse will fall down too.
The red ant rushed to the black ant and asked for help, "Can I stay up in your tree? Rain just started and surely floods will appear in an instant..."
Black ant replied, "Oui. Let's hurry!"
After reaching and resting on the highest branch of the black ant's tree, the red ant asked, "Why do most black ants fear us, red ants?"
Black ant reacted, "I don't fear you because of your color. Almost everybody in our black colony believed that you are all mean and hostile because you bite everyone and everything."
Red ant said, "I thought so... but I only bite when I feel threatened ."
Black ant added, "Your red colony believed we are more mean than you because we are colored black like witches."
Red ant whispered, "You wouldn't help me if you're a bad witch!"
