Once upon a time, there were three children: George, Peter and Sam. George was the oldest and the most cunning. Peter was the second oldest and the most intelligent. Sam was the youngest and the most stupid. They attended school regularly, and played together during breaks. However, one day they decided to not show up for class and hide.

"Oh, this is really a bad idea," said Sam worriedly. "Why can't we just go to class? I really don't want to be caught."

"What are you, a girl?" said George in disgust. "English class is boring, and the teacher is dumb. I hope she chokes on chalk!"

"Ha-ha," laughed Sam anxiously. "But I don't want her to punish me and tell my parents. Oh, God, it's going to be bad if she finds us. Very bad!"

"Don't worry, Sam, this is a safe place." said Peter to calm him down. "I bet the teacher doesn't even know this place exists!"

"B-But —

"Look at this ant right here!" screamed George. "This is you. Look at its antennas. It looks like your glasses. Haha. I'm going to step on it!"

George analysed the ant, and instead of stepping on the ant, he decided to mock it. He put his hands on his head to mimic its antennas, and looked at the sky as if the sky was him and he was the ant. "Oh, oh, you're so big, George. Oh, oh, I don't know what to do with my life. I guess I will just walk there, oh no, maybe there, I don't know, I'm dumb, I'm an ant."

Sam jumped off the ground and pushed George as hard as he could, but it had little effect on George. Sam, however, said angrily, "Stop being a prick. The ant did nothing wrong to you!"

George and Peter looked baffled for a second, and burst out laughing.

"How insane, you might as well kiss it!" George mocked Sam, and suddenly, George was holding the back of Sam's neck, forcing him to kiss the ant. Sam was trying to resist as hard as he could, but when his face got very close to the ant, he started crying. Peter jumped and urged George to stop, and George stopped.

Sam was on his back, sobbing, with the ant beside him, directing it's antennas towards him. His sobbing was beginning to get louder and more intense. George and Peter grew anxious that someone might hear him. Peter ran beside Sam and tried to comfort him and stop his loud sobbing, however, he failed to do that and the sobbing grew only louder.

George grew furious and shouted, “STOP THIS MADNESS!” He raised his right foot up and smashed the ant, putting an abrupt end to Sam’s shrieks and sobbing.
