Teamwork story: The ants’ secret formula to success

There is a world that humans don’t know exists, well at least not in such a capacity. This is the world of insects in which way more is going on than humans understand and believe. In this world, insects live their lives similarly to humans do. They have responsibilities, jobs, hobbies, holidays, friends and most importantly they have their sports games which they take very seriously. The most important of them all is the great acrobatic balloon competition which occurs only a couple of times every year. Every insect near and far had been training hard, and now the day of the competition had finally come. The humans had a birthday celebration for one of their kids and the insects only had a few hours before the parents would come back and clean what was left after the celebration. Each time, the flying insects were favorites to win at this competition, because they could grab the balloon strings and fly off in all directions, creating all sorts of patterns in the air. However, on this occasion, there were some rather unusual insects taking part that had never done so. It was a group of ants. Of course, no one expected that they’d do anything special. They were too light and they had no experience at competitions of this kind. When the other insects asked them why they even bother competing, the ants would simply reply, “Our formula to success is teamwork.”
