A group of ants was staring at the strange rock which had rolled into their backyard. They had seen rocks much bigger than this. But this one was different. It had a sweet smell and was soft to touch.
Elders had warned them of creatures who hid in a shell and pounced at the last moment. But this young group of ants couldn't care less if there was an alien hiding within this rock.
Curiosity was flying in their bellies.
So they moved ahead and started to shovel a side of this rock. Finally after hours, one crust of the shell came apart. And inside was the sweetest heaven these ants had ever tasted.
Their curiosity and hard work eventually gave them a fruitful result.
