An Affinity for Aardvarks


Fredrick had an affinity for aardvarks. To adumbrate, he thought that they were aesthetically perfect and that they could be very useful in society. Aardvarks ate the very creature Fredrick abominated most, ants. They were so adroit in using their long tongue to pick up bugs that they didn’t even get bitten, unlike Fredrick did on that adverse summer day.


The intense heat of the sun, which could be seen after walking up the acclivity to get to the park, severely affected Fredrick. Upon reaching the park, Fredrick quickly sat down in the first shady spot he found. Unfortunately, he sat down so quickly that he did not notice the small colony of ants that was right next to where he was seated and when he discovered it, it was already too late. It was not abstruse as to why Fredrick jumped up in such a hurry. Having won an accolade at his school’s science fair for his study of ant colonies, he knew all about ants and their habitats. Not wanting to get bitten, Fredrick slowly edged his way away from the ant’s colony. Not wanting anyone to abashed in the same way that he had when he sat down, he took out some little red flags from his backpack and put them around the colony to accentuate its position. He did not think that his actions adulterated the image of the park in any way, so he left them there.

Since then, Fredrick has been an advocate for Aardvarks in Parks. Although, other children with zits sometimes accosted and abased him, his efforts to make parks safer did not abate. This effort granted him some well-earned adulation and help from the city, which he has used to make parks safer to this very day.
