Go to the Ant (Wisdom and the Millers)

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer of ruler,
yet it stores its provision in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
Proverbs 6:6-8

story is about Peter, Timmy and Sharon Miller who were supposed to snap beans into pans. But instead of doing what they were told to do, they started complaining. They were arguing about who should get busy first. Soon Mrs Miller heard the commotion they were making. She took out the bible and read aloud from Proverbs 6:6-8. Then later, she pointed to an ant that was carrying a crumb of bread twice its size and the ant did not stop to rest at all. When teh ant reached the edge of the grass, another ant came along to help. Then both ants disappeared with the food. Mrs Miller told her children that the ants did not boss each other around, but worked in a team. The children learned to work together and not to make complaints.
