In a community of green ants, life went by gathering provisions to survive the winter. In this community lived a family composed of 15 ants of which only one was female and was called scarlet.

Scarlet was an ant smaller than the rest, so the amount of food that could be loaded was less, for that reason his brothers mocked and even did not allow him to place their seeds in the family's tank, scarlet decided to make his own deposit .

While her brothers slept or played she carried seeds and leaves to her secret store.

It happened that when winter came there was a great flood in the valley where the anthill was, and dragged what was in the deposit of the family of ants, that night the brothers slept worried because they feared for their survival during the winter.

At dawn the family of ants got up and there sitting at the table, which was served with rich and small seeds, had a scarlet breakfast and with a smile on their lips said: "a grain does not fill a bag but as an aid"
