Annie is a small, black ant, but she is strong and 

ready for adventure. On the day of her birthday she 

found a slice of pizza sitting right on the curb by a 

trash can. Annie was on the way home, but was lucky 

enough to find this pizza. She decided she wanted it 

all for herself and must find somewhere to hide it. 

Annie hurried to the pizza as fast as she could before 

anyone else had the chance to claim it.

She knew that she had to head on a journey all on her 

own, just to make sure no one would take a bite. 

Annie decided to take a short walk to the beach from the city 

and find a great place to hide the pizza. She knew no one would 

be able to find it there.

As Annie found the perfect spot under an umbrella, she knew it 

would stay cool under the shade it provided. The cool breezy air 

will keep it fresh and it will be there when she comes back later 

when she is hungry. 

Annie then saw there were some very, very hungry seagulls 

looking at her slice of pizza. "Oh no," yelled Annie, " I must take 

my pizza away or else those seagulls will claim my prize". 

Annie then became nervous and needed to find a new place to 

hide her pizza. 

Annie searched high and low to find the right 

place for her pizza. "At last," thought Annie "I 

can hide the pizza in the house across my ant 

home." 

"No one will suspect a thing there," Annie said. 

As she made her way into the house from the 

beach. Annie climbed up the cabinets and 

placed the pizza on top of the fridge. Annie felt 

very accomplished and would soon return for 

her pizza when she gets hungry.

As Annie was heading for the door, in came 

Emma and her father Jack. Emma had just 

finished her ballet practice and was very hungry.

She told her dad, "Dad, I want pizza, I want 

pizza now, please." Jack didn't reply because he 

knew there wasn't any in the house. "Let's see 

what we can find in the fridge," said Jack. 

Before Emma and Jack could even spot the pizza 

slice, Annie climbed back up the fridge and 

headed for the door to find a new safe place. 

Annie lost track of time and it was starting to get dark 

outside. Annie was scared, and didn't know where she 

was. She could hear other creatures like bats, owls, and 

moths coming out for the night. She was worried she 

would never make it home. 

"Which way is home?", questioned Annie, but no one 

was near to reply. 

As she reached the end of the road she didn't know if 

she should head left or right. She was too small to read 

the signs. 

Annie regretted not going home during the day since it is 

her birthday and she is now all alone. Just as Annie was 

going to lose hope she saw a hole on a tree and she 

suddenly remembered she passed this tree on her way 

to the city this morning.
