Story #15

The soldier ant agreed to help the grass blades. She set off at once for the great cavern. Inside lived a dreaded beast always sleeping save for one hour a week. During this hour, the beast would emerge from the cavern and let out one long continuous roar that did only cease after it finished decapitating every single grass blade across the land. After several days travel, the ant approached the beast and was successful in severing one its main arteries. The next week the beast did not emerge. The grass blades had been saved.
