Tan-Tan! Why Did You Do That?

It's an another day for work

"The sun is out, cool breeze is passing by, the birds seems like waving their wings at me, as they fly around the free sky.Its an another day for work" said Tan-Tan; a black ant in a red ant colony. Yes! a black ant in a red ant colony, maybe you are surprised how come a black ant was mixed or living and working together in a red ant colony. 

Though Tan-Tan is different from the other, he has a circle of friends with them, and they are  robin,pia,buster. together they work together in a straight line. they sometimes tease Tan-Tan as a walking charcoal. Tan-tan is used in this kind of teasing, so every time they tease him, he will just freeze and act as a fossilized ant and afterwards they all laugh to there hearts content. they support and help each other that when Tan-Tan found a heavy food to carry, Robin,Pia and Buster always give a hand to Tan-tan. While they are carrying a heavy food together, they sang there favorite song. 

One day while all the ants are busy working, walking in straight line, collecting foods for winter, the three ants; Robin, Pia and Buster noticed that they didn't saw Tan-tan on that day. the three ants start searching Tan-tan, they even report the absence of Tan-tan to the Queen on the ants. They were all so worried that there black ant friend was missing, they even thought that something bad might have happened to him.

While all his friend are busy and worrying finding him, he is actually on his way to search on where he really came from. Tan-tan seems happy in the company of his friends but he can't help himself but to find his real family, and to know where he really came from. Tan-tan escaped on the colony early in the morning so that none can notice him. he is on his way finding reasons behind his existence. he feels the longing of family, a longing for a colony who is like him, a Black ant. Tan-tan wasn't ungrateful with the red ant colony. he loves his red ant friends, he even treat them as his brothers and sister. he loves them so much, that's why he really had a hard time making decision in leaving the colony. 

He was crying that he is walking with his face on the ground. He can't understand the feeling of being alone, so as the feeling of the ants that is different from you. while walking, he was slipped then he feel asleep. When he waked up, he found himself together with a group of black ants, he was so happy that finally he found ants that is like him. He was shouting and embracing everyone that he sees. he greet them and ask how they are. the other black ants was shocked on how this strange black ant does after waking up, they thought that this ant is crazy, while Tan-tan continues to jump and laugh. An ant approach him asking who is he and where did he came from, after there small conversation they discover that he is the lost son of there queen. then Tan-tan visited the sick queen. the queen wasn't feeling well because the queen spend most of her lifetime searching for his son. Finally the queens son is back! says one of the ant.

The news spread on almost all the colony near them. Robin,Pia and Buster heard the news and asked permission to travel to Tan-tans new colony and they were granted. while on there way, a familiar ant greeted them. It's Tan-tan! Pia shouted and embrace Tan-tan. They all hugged each other afterwards Pia asked Tan-tan, "Tan-tan, why did you do that?, we missed you so much, we thought we wouldn't be seeing you again" Suddenly Tan-tan cried and said " i have to do it, and it made a good result and i'm very thankful"

he missed his friends so much. after seeing each other, Tan-tan invited his friends to be his guest in his home. his friend spend some days on his colony. They played and shared some stories as if they haven't seen each other for such a long time.

Tan-tan finally found where he really came from, and it feels good to be with the ants that he loves.
