The Ant and the Magician

By David a Wimsett

In a fantasy world, a powerful magician commands the winds to plow his fields, sow the seeds, water the furrows and harvest the crops.

This is fine for the magician, but in the fields where the winds play out their tasks, the animals living there are blown about. They hold a meeting. None of them can decide what to do until a tiny ant named Amanda stands up and says, "I'll stop the winds."

The other animals laugh. One of them says the bear has claws and the fox teeth. What could a tiny ant possibly have to confront the power of a magician?

Amanda just smiles. "The best thing of all, my wits."

A modern fable, The Ant and the Magician demonstrates how everyone can stand up and make a difference, no matter their size or popularity.
