Chapter 220

It was just past 8 a.m., and Yvonne was crouched on a small path in the front yard, her tiny backpack snug on her back.

Ian had forgotten something and gone back to get it. She was waiting for him.

A large leaf had fallen across their path. Every ant, upon reaching the leaf, had to climb up and over it before continuing on.

Feeling helpful, Yvonne reached out and gently moved the leaf aside.

Yvonne stared at the scene in shock, eyes wide with guilt.

Oh no. She’d messed up.

Panicking, she hurried to put the leaf back where it had been–but somehow, that only made things worse. Now even more ants were lost, clustering together in frantic confusion.

Desperate, Yvonne began using her finger to guide them, her soft, childish voice rising with urgency.

“Go this way! Right here–this is the way, little ones!”

But the ants didn’t understand her. They’d already started spreading out in both directions, searching for a new path.

Yvonne wanted to cry. She crouched there on the ground, heartbroken, feeling like a criminal.
