The Little Ant

A professional storyteller adapts a popular folktale about a little ant who learns the effect of his actions on others when he accuses a snowflake of making him trip and fall. The snowflake, in turn, blames the sun, which sets off a chain reaction of accusation and denial through an assortment of very unusual characters.

When the little ant slips on a snowflake on his way home, he's sure the snowflake did it on purpose. He calls the snowflake a bully and hollers for the sheriff to make an arrest. But the snowflake blames someone else. Pretty soon, everyone is blaming someone else. So who is the real bully? For the adaptation of this popular folktale, professional storyteller David Novak put pen to paper to bring his unique perspective to a story he's told hundreds of times in front of live audiences across the country. So sit back and enjoy The Little Ant, then read it aloud or tell your own version of it. Because stories are meant to be shared.
