Little Fables - Fable Stories For Kids - The Ants and the Crumbs\r
\r
The queen ant announces a competition of who can gather up the biggest pile of edible things. The ants all rush off hoping to win the prize. Two ants arrive at a far off field. The older ant works diligently selecting only grains and crumbs, while the younger ant, interested only in the size of the pile, collects everything in sight. When the queen inspects the piles, it is indeed the younger ants pile that is larger, however on closer inspection she discovers that the pile is made up of mostly inedible things and so the prize goes to the older ant. The young ant learns that its not just about quantity but more important, is the quality. \r
