Lucas learns a lesson about bullying when he is pulled into the ant hole he has been tormenting. Lucas terrorizes the ants in his backyard until they shrink him & put him on trial. Sid is such a big bully that Lucas wishes he could squash him like a bug. But Lucas is too little to do that. Instead he bullies the ants. The ants, however, have had enough of Lucas's nasty games. And they teach him a lesson that will make him (and readers) think twice about being mean.
