When Ari the Ant sees the crumb, he decides to take it home to his family. But the crumb proves far more difficult to move than he first thought. Ari tries different ways to move it, and fails each time.

He becomes frustrated. Just when Ari is thinking about quitting, he gets a brilliant idea of how to move the crumb. He is finally successful and takes it home.
