Emilie, the ant

Formerly, among the ants of a colony of black ants, there was Emilie: she was delicate, kind, calm and clever.

Émilie was a great admirer of Queen Helena. But she was not high up in her colony: she could not see the queen. His dream was to meet her.

The colony of Émilie did not like the colony of the red ants very much because they were not the same color, but Emilie did not have the same opinions.

On Tuesday around 2 p.m., Émilie sneaked out of the anthill and went to see her best friend: Sabrina. They had known each other since they were young.

One day, Émilie had come out of her anthill to get some fresh air. She was sitting on a bench, all alone. Then, a red ant came to ask him "Shall we play together?".

Emilie replied with a sad voice "No, I can't. My parents told me not to talk and play with the red ants".

This red ant said to him, saddened and with a few tears, "Why did your parents tell you that? Why don't red ants and black ants get hurt? What is the reason for all these conflicts and all these insults?

I think that this discrimination doesn't make any sense because we are all ants and not to appreciate each other for a color story is stupid.

Your parents, and even everyone else, can think whatever they want, but I don't see why everyone is asking about colors! "

The red ant started to leave but Emilie got up, ran to catch up with her and play with her. This is how Emilie met Sabrina and it is from there that their friendship began to be forged.

One Wednesday morning, the police went to Emilie's house, knocked on her door and one of the police said "Hello, national police, are you really Emilie?"

Emilie replied "yes, for what reason?" The other policeman cut her off with an annoyed air, "well you are going to come and take a walk to the police station with us, okay?"

Emilie, worriedly, spoke "but I didn't do anything wrong!" the policeman says "you will remember it when you will be in front of the judge"

Émilie found herself in custody and did not understand what had happened for her to find herself in this situation.
The policeman took him to the judge.

The judge began to question Emilie "what were you doing yesterday afternoon?"
Émilie replied "I was continuing my day's routine, why?"

The judge said "according to our sources, you saw a red ants at 2 p.m. yesterday, this is an offense: article 14 of code 22, it is strictly forbidden to frequent a red ants. Violating this article is punishable by the penalty of dead"

Emilie was overwhelmed by these words, she said: "How can we think so? This article is irrelevant. Hating red ants because of their color is poor on our part.
I have admired Queen Helena since I was a child, but I had no idea that she had written such an article. Think about it: a world in which black and red ants tolerate each other would be so much fairer! "

The judge, as well as the whole tribunal, were enlightened by these words.

A few weeks later, following multiple revolutions, revolts and civil wars: a new government was established. This government is built on the alliance of the red and black ants: an eternal peace is proclaimed.
