But the ants didn't want to share the food.
They were being selfish and awfully rude.

Said Pat the cat, "We must share.
Everyone is welcome here."

"My friend is right," said Pat the rat.
"Why, thank you, friend," said Pat the cat.

"If we didn't share with all you ants,
Then you'd still be hungry in the plants."

The ants saw the poor squirrels standing there.
They felt ashamed for not wanting to share.

"We beg your pardon, we are sorry we were rude.
Won't you please come join us and enjoy all this food?"
