RE: STACH Short Story Contest #27: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SB prize pool!

Two ants went through the forest and after four days had passed, they were already exhausted, mainly because they had not found anything to eat. One of them saw a grain of rice in the distance and decided to lie to her companion saying: Go ahead, I need to be alone for a while.
After having left his partner, the ant looks for the grain of rice and begins to eat until he sees again his partner at his side very sad for being deceived, so he said: Why did you lie to me? Was not it easier to tell me that you did not want to share with me?
And with shame the ant replied: I'm sorry, it was very selfish of me and very dishonorable to lie to you. I always hear that, if you're going to lie that it's short, but this time look for my own interest so take half and half.
And after eating, both ants followed their path quietly and honestly.
