Paper plates/worms and ants

[Guest guest]

You have a kind heart! I read this cute story once. A

man walked 40 miles to a town to buy grain. He walked

all the way home with it only to discover that it

contained ants! So he walked all the way back to

return the grain . . .not to get his money back, but

to release the ants in their own place. :-) Susan
