he heard the sounds of a fight and a cry for help.

    When he came close he saw a brood of little red scorpions

            attacking a big black ant.

Now Thurston did not much care for scorpions

        so he came charging and trumpeting,

                scaring all the scorpions away.

As he came closer to the big black ant, Thurston could see

            that the ant's wings were torn and he could not fly.
