Once upon a time, in a small garden, there lived a group of ants. They were hardworking and always busy collecting food for their queen. One day, while they were out gathering food, they came across a caterpillar who was struggling to climb up a tree. The ants felt sorry for the caterpillar and decided to help him. They worked together to carry the caterpillar up the tree and placed him on a leaf.
The caterpillar was very grateful and thanked the ants for their help. He promised to repay them one day. The ants didn't think much of it and went back to their work.
A few weeks later, the caterpillar emerged from his cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. He remembered the kindness of the ants and decided to visit them in their garden. When he arrived, he saw that the ants were struggling to carry a large piece of fruit back to their colony. The butterfly flew over and offered to help.
The ants were amazed at how strong the butterfly was and how easily he carried the fruit. They thanked him for his help and asked how they could repay him. The butterfly smiled and said, "Just remember that kindness is always rewarded."
