Adventures With Giant Ants
Anna and David runs before giant ants. They have
to find someone who will help them.
Anna and David stand on corner Rooseveltova
street and Kobližná street. David looks with interest three-meter sculpture of
in front of him.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" ask Anna.
David narrows his eyes and looks even more
closely at the objet ahead of him. "What it should be?"
"It are bulbs."
"Bulbs?"
"Yes, bulbs."
"Why they are here?"
"It's a tribute to Edison."
"Who is Edison?"
Anna laugh. "You didn't learn it in school,
yet?"
David silently shakes his head with his eyes
staring to the ground. Anna smiles at him. "Of course, you're only in
third grade. I will tell you it."
David looks up to her with interest and Anna
starts explain. "Edison was an inventor. His a whole name is Thomas Alva
Edison. Thanks to him you can read your favourite comics in evening, when is
dark outside. Thanks to him you can turn on your lamp on bedside table. Bulb
inside her, give you a light that you need for reading. It was Edison, who
technologically improved light bulb production and patented them. It so much
better than light from candles, don't you think?"
"Yes, sure it is. Thanks, Adison!" Anna
laugh. "Let's go further."

"Anna?"
"Yes?"
"How long you stay with me?"
"What do you mean with that?"
"My mom said that you will graduate next
year and that you maybe would will want go to the another city or maybe even
another country."
"She said that? Yeah, I have to be honest
with you. I want to be honest to you. Right now I am in my penultimate year at
university. If I to pass the exams successfully I get diploma. After this I can
continue with studies at Charles University. They have excellent programme for
me. But I am also attracted by the idea go to abroad."
"Why?"
"Because I wanna to experience new
adventures, David."
"You can experience new adventures with me."
"Yes, it's true." Anna smiled at him.
They stopped at the corner of Orlí street and Josefská street.
"Why we stopped?"
"Look up."
David lifted his head and looked at the yellow
house. There were a lot of giant ants. He started to count them.
"How many ants you see?"
David's eyes suddenly brightened. "Too many!"
Anna and David could not look away from them.
Suddenly they saw a slight movement. They looked at itself in a sudden
understanding. "RUUUUN!!"
They were running at the highest speed they were
capable of. "Are they behind us?"
David looked up through his shoulder and saw many
and many gigantic ants. When two of them collided, they split and were here
four of them.
"They are multiplying!"
"Faster, David. Faster! Three cocks can help
us!"

“"How you want to ask them for help,
Anna?" David asked.
Anna blinked at him. "I can to speak their
secret language."
"Seriously?" David looked at her.
"Seriously," said Anna and she started
unseriously squawk like a hen.
The cocks came down from the roof down to them.
The one of them with orange feathers looked in Anna's eyes. She just pointed at
ants behind them. They were already close to them. Cocks nodded and together
with his colleagues flew in that direction. Anna turned to the David. "We
have to hurry. Cosks are only little distraction. Only Jošt can save us."

When they arrived at Square of Freedom, a lot of
people were there. "What's going to here?"
"Easter markets."
"Oh, Easter! I almost forgot!" David
smiled. He turned his neck back. After the giant ants there were no traces. Anna
noticed something in his face. "What's up?"
"Can we end this game? I think that the giant
ants were pretty cool. We can state that cocks got them all on their own with
their superpower. They didn't need help from Jošt, okey?"
"Okey, why?"
"Because is Easter markets here. Let's go
buy something."
Anna laughed and they together disappeared in
crowd.
The End
