The Ant and the Tadpole

Ant was becoming restless and needed a friend to play with. He looked into the pond and saw Tadpole swimming around, and thought, he's no fun. So he called his mate from the old tree stump, Beetle. They had been friends a while ago and enjoyed playing in the rotting tree stump, before Ant moved to the pond.
When Beetle finally arrived, they both decided it was time to drag Tadpole out of the pond. Ant bit Tadpole and really hurt him, then both Beetle and Ant picked Tadpole up and threw him into the grass behind them.
Ant and Beetle laughed and played together, on their own.
Tadpole was not dead. But he was badly hurt, and unfortunately, would never grow up to be a frog.
