For Frankie, there was only one conclusion.
‘Ant, if war has no friends and doesn’t protect the world, it probably can’t defend itself either.’
The six-legged creature opened her eyes wide in surprise, and Frankie went on:
‘That, in turn, means that this war needs my help
a lot more than I thought. Let’s go to it right away!’
Stunned, the ant watched Frankie jump out of bed, get dressed, grab his schoolbag where he kept all his treasures (i.e. tools for observing anthills), and head for the door.
‘Are we going or not?’, he urged his new friend.
‘We should talk first. I want you to understand what this is about’, the ant said seriously.
