Description
There once was an ant that loved to dance. He would dance all day long but none of the other ants noticed him. One day he met a matchstick and asked "May I climb upon you and dance so that the other ants will notice me?" Being a good natured matchstick it replied "Of course you may, but please climb down when I ask you to" The ant agreed and climbed upon the matchstick and begun to dance. The ant whirled and spun and danced as the other ants gathered around and noticed him. The ant was overjoyed with this and whirled and spun and danced until his feet began to glow with heat. The matchstick felt the heat from the ants feet and shouted "You have whirled and spun and danced but now you must climb down!" The ant was so excited to finally be noticed by the other ants that he ignored the matchstick and continued to dance, his feet now quite red with heat. The matchstick began to voice another warning. "Please ant, you must hop down! I fear I may..." but it was too late. The ant's hot red feet cause the matchstick to light and burn. The ants that had gathered to watch the dancing shed a single tear and moved along their way. The End. Original photo and story by me. © Cameron Bentley 2012.
