"A Needle in a Haystack"!

Privyet! Heartsstarssmiles here! I wrote a short story last year called "A Needle in a Haystack." Here it is:

There was once a giant and an ant.  They were mortal enemies.  They fought very often, physically, but neither of them ever succeeded.  The giant would try to step on the ant, but it was like trying to kill a germ by stepping on them.  The ant would punch the giant, but fail.  Think of it this way: can you punch Mount Everest?  Well, yes, but it won’t collapse, will it?

And that’s the way it was for a decade.  But one day, the wizard Roseclare grew sick of their fighting, so she gave them a task to do: find a needle in a haystack.  “I expect this to be done by midnight,” she said.

“By midnight?!” the giant and the ant complained.

“Yes, and if it’s not done, you will face harder challenges.”

“Like what?”

“Finding a germ, maybe.  A specific germ.”  With that, she vanished.

“I can do it without you!” they both yelled at each other.  The giant made the haystack collapse, but could not find the needle, while the ant pounded the giant.  Roseclare could clearly see that they were not working together.  She sent them another one.  The ant tried to knock down the haystack, but in vain.

It was an hour before midnight, when, finally, the giant knocked down the haystack.  “I see it, I see it!” the ant shouted, then ran to the shiny needle.  

“Good job, buddy,” the giant said.

“Buddy?” the ant looked up. “Buddy!”

Roseclare appeared.  “I’m impressed!” she said.

The friends looked at each other.  They smiled.  “I couldn’t have done it without you,” they said in unison.

            And so, the ant and the giant learned a great lesson that day: teamwork is very  important and powerful, and can even create ever-lasting friendships!

Ya like it? =D
