The massacre

Son: I've always heard you talking about the massacre, but you never told what exactly it is.
Father: It was a day that can be never forgot. Our kingdom was threatened  with extinction.
I can never forget the scene of that day when hundreds of our species were dying on the floor in front of me and I couldn't help them. Actually I couldn't help myself. I could barely move because of the poisoned air that made me dizzy and paralyzed.
Son: How did all that happen?!
Father: It all started when we were at our workplaces, doing nothing but working hard to gain the sweat of our efforts. Then suddenly, to be surprised by the enemy's invasion on us. 
They envied us just because we are workaholics, just because we know our target and work hard on it while they are couch potatoes and lazy.
That day, they carried weapons that we didn't expect and destroyed most of us. They sprayed us with poisoned gases in order to make sure that we were completely numbed, then they killed us with every horrible way. We ran as fast as possible, holding our food in our hands, trying to hide and save our lives but seems it was too late. 
I can never forget your mother's look when she was dying on the floor and soon she got killed by the evil, brutal slaughterers. I was hiding and watching her from far distance but I couldn't dare to move, and seemed that I was going to die.
Son: And what happened ?!
Father: The poisoned air let me feel kind of blind, I couldn't recognize where I was or what was happening or what was going to be our fate. It didn't just harm me physically, but it also harmed my feeling. I was completely disappointed as we were surprised by the invasion, so we had no time to hide or get ready or even save more food. And so, it seemed to be our end!
While the enemy was busy killing others, I tried to recharge some energy and move my body and escape. Yes that I failed so many times, but at last, I made use of my little energy, lot of strong determination, stood up and made the best use of my feet putting in my mind that I have to survive. And actually what made me even stronger beside god's will of course, is you! Yes, your image couldn't leave my mind. Who would be with you then? and raise you up in a peaceful environment?
My journey to survival had a lot of struggling. Although it seemed no hope to live anymore, I continued seeking second chance. Yes that most of my family and friends died and dead bodies were everywhere and our home were completely damaged, However, I continued seeking second chance. Although your mother died and left me alone and it was easier for me to give up and die with her, I continued seeking second chance.
Then, I survived and lived because of you. You were my only fellow who helped me forget all that and start a new life full of happiness just with you.
Never lose hope, son! Hope is the thing that makes you own everything. Hope is the only thing that will save our lives and ensure the immortality of our species if dozens of enemies invades us. We are a fact and nothing can vanish us!
Son: Oh, my father! How can you be great to that extent ?!
A promise Dad that I will never give up and I'll always seek my targets to reach the sugar of my efforts.
I'll stay against human beings whenever they invade us. They will never destroy my dreams. 
Dad! I'm proud of our being ANTS!
