The The Organized Ant Keeps Busy
At the Meeting Center with Tinsy the ant
This is a story about a hard working ant whose name is Tinsy. Tinsy the ant lives in a special
place called Eden Forest. A group of Special Eden Creatures live there around Eden
Pond. Tinsy the ant is responsible to arrange and organize the work shifts of her family
members. "The work never stops for an instant." Behind Tinsy a long line of worker ants
ready to do whatever she's said they must achieve. "Come, it's time we gather enough
food to last us the winter."
One autumn day, strong winds succeeded to blow a grape right in front of Tinsy's castle.
"Okay come quickly everybody, let's drag that grape to our underground storage room."

Deborah the bee also loved the special grapes that grew in Eden Forest, so a competition
developed between them. "Get away from here, Tinsy the ant," threatens Deborah. "You
won't come anywhere close to my grape. "BzZz BzZz," buzzes Deborah the bee, and in
another second there's a lot of bees gathered around her. "Whisk and flap your wings, so
they'll go back in their tunnel."
Tinsy tried to calm down the gathering of ants. "Might does not make right. We need to take
the grape without disturbing Deborah the bee."
Deborah the bee is speaking to encourage the worker bees. "It is our responsibility to bring
nectar to our queen."

The Special Eden Creatures were astonished by what they see going on between friends
from Eden Forest. Frieda the frog comments, "We are very unhappy about this. What!?
Does Eden Forest lack for grapes? "
"Exactly," responds Tinsy the ant. "The grapes are perfect because they become raisins and
we can eat them the whole winter. Maybe someone can advise us how to solve the
problem!"
Pearl the parakeet retorts, "We, the Special Eden Creatures always offer to support one
another because life is nice because we live like members of a family."
Gerry the giraffe, who usually kept his neck straight, bends down until he is eye level with
Tinsy the ant, "I have an idea for you," she offered. All the Special Eden Creatures joined
Gerry and said in unison, "Go to the one creature who knows everything; Ollie the Wise
Old Owl."

Ollie, the owl sleeps all day. He can see far into the distance with his big round eyes. Owls
have a very special hoot that can be heard everywhere in Eden Forest. Ollie the wise old
owl always asks many questions. "Who?", "when?", "where?", "what?", and "why?" He
always knows exactly what to do in every situation.
Pearl the parakeet escorted Tinsy hoping they'd arrived the oak where Ollie made his home
just about sunset. The Special Eden Creatures we getting ready for bed.
