The Ant Bully

 

When being tormented by the neighborhood bully and his followers “because I’m big, and you’re small”, Lucas is too embarrassed to tell his family, so he angrily pushes everyone away. The only thing he can find to ease his frustration is to, in turn, become a bully to the only ones around who are smaller than himself: the colony of ants in his front yard. The ants are not too keen on his unprovoked attacks on their home, so their wizard works on a magic potion to help the colony. Once perfected, the potion reduces the boy to their size, and he is forced to see the world from their point of view. Living with the team building ants, he realizes that the only way to beat a bully is to work together as a team. Individually, someone may be small, but many people working together are big. Lucas also comes to realize that, when you are hurting, pushing away the people who love you the most is definitely not the answer.
