All for a slipper

This past week when I was walking to the school for the art camp, there were some children throwing their slippers (the children call their flipflops slippers) at a mango tree to knock down some fruit. In the process, one little girl got her slipper stuck in the tree and was trying to knock it down with a mop. She couldn't reach so I thought I would give it a try. Without knowing that the branch with her slipper on it was swarming with big red biting ants, I hit the branch and the slipper along with all the biting ants came showering down on top of me. They were on my head, in my shirt, and on the bag I was carrying. Needless to say, it was a little awkward getting those biting ants out of my shirt, but at least that little girl had her slipper back.
