Jorge, el hormiguero, lived near a tall hill. He loved to dig and play.
He had tiny friends who were ants. They worked hard all day long.
Curious Jorge wondered what was on top of the hill. 'I want to see!' he exclaimed.
The ants warned, 'It's high and steep!' But Jorge was not afraid.
Jorge started his climb. 'Be careful!' his friends shouted from below.
He dug little holes to help him climb. 'This is tough,' puffed Jorge.
Halfway up, Jorge paused. 'Wow, the world looks so great from here!'
He heard a bird. 'Keep going, Jorge,' the bird sang. He felt encouraged.
As he reached the top, the horizon stretched wide. 'I made it!' he cheered.
Jorge saw his home and the ants below. 'Hello!' he called, waving.
The journey back down was quick. 'That was fun!' Jorge laughed joyfully.
His friends gathered around. 'You are so brave, Jorge!' they cheered together.
