"Andi and Johnny were the best of friends and did everything together. But as they grew up, their different abilities kept them apart. Johnny became an Awesome Ant who provided for the colony and was hailed as a hero. Andi worked underground, was looked down upon and forgotten.
One day, the rains stopped and the land became very dry. The Awesome Ants went in search of water. They dug underground but lost their way in the darkness. With the hero ants in trouble, would this mean the end of the colony?"
"Andi and the ants sail down the river in boats made out of leaves. They settle down in a beautiful land and make friends with the locals, the keledek (sweet potatoes).
The ants are enthralled when a flight of big white birds stop over and show them the world by flying them across continents and seas. But when a heavy downpour threatens to destroy their home and wash them away, who will come to their rescue?"
"Although Andi tries his best, he is always told that he must do better. He wonders if life is all about climbing faster and higher.
Whenever it rains, Andi and the ants must scramble up the hill to escape from the rising waters. Although he tries his best, Andi is always told that he must climb faster and higher.
Food is also scarce where they live, and the ants often fight over what little they have. Will things remain this way forever? What can Andi do to find a better future for his family and himself?"
