"The tried little ant."

Under a big tree by the corridor, a small ant lives with the herd.

It's smaller than anyone, slower than anyone, and it doesn't lift much food like other ants.

Every time I go foraging,

Other ants always overtake it.

"There's not much you can do."

Some ants speak up casually.

Little ants don't argue.

It just kept bowing and walking.

One day it rained harder than ever.

The ant nest began to be flooded with water.

Many ants rush to carry food away, but because the water is too strong, a lot of food floats away with the tide.

There's only the same little ant.

Who still walk back and forth without stopping

Gradually hair the food seeds one by one.

Even tired until almost exhausted

The other ants looked at it curiously.

"What will it do for one seed?"

The little ant didn't answer.

It continued to walk quietly.

When the rain stops

The food left in the nest is food that little ants slowly carry back, one by one, that itself.

That day, everyone understood that

Sometimes the people who are not the best

Probably the most "uncompromising" person.

Because of the success of life

It doesn't measure who runs faster than who.

But the temple that anyone can try more
