The Frying Pan and ant
There is this, Chinese saying, 急得像热锅上的蚂蚁which means panicking just like an ant on a frying pan. This makes me think of this story...
Frizzy, the ant and her good friend, Mindy, were stuck in the frying pan of a Chef. Apparently, Mindy and Frizzy were weeded out for cooking.
So when this happened, Frizzy panicked. “What are we going to do?” Frizzy screamed to Mindy, who was unconscious. Before Frizzy blacked out, he desperately climbed up the frying pan but to no avail. Try imagining you trying to get out of a fire while dragging your refridgerator along with you. Hopeless. But Frizzy wanted to get out so desperately, with a useless thing that was precious. In the end, Frizzy was saved, by an assistant of the chef.
So the thing that happened next was that Frizzy became conscious. I don't know how, but he just did. This assistant had 'saved' him, by discarding him into a rubbish can. So, Frizzy tried to move his six-legged body down, and began his adventure to save himself. Luckily, some other ants were in the same kitchen and saved Frizzy from injuring himself more.
Frizzy went to the 'clinic'. He soon recovered and never ever wanted to land in a frying pan again.
