11．The day when the jobs were handed out was the most exciting for the children in the class．Every child was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year．
As some jobs were more interesting than others，the children were eager to be given one of the best．Among them Rita stood out．She was a kind and quiet girl．Last year she carried out the teacher's instructions perfectly．She was the favorite to be given the best job---to look after the class dog．
But this year there was a big surprise．Each child received one of the normal jobs，like preparing the books for the lessons，cleaning the blackboard or looking after one of the pets．But Rita's job was very different．She was given a little box with some sand and one ant．Although the teacher insisted that this ant was very special，Rita could not help feeling disappointed．
"I will turn this little task into something great，"Rita said to herself．She started to study everything about the little ant，gave it the best food and made the box perfect．The ant ended up growing quite a little bigger．
One day，the teacher announced that Rita's class had been chosen to accompany Doctor Martinez to the tropical rainforest to study all kinds of insects in summer，because the class had best cared for the little ant．
The class was filled with joy．Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible．And children learnt that to be given the most important tasks you have to know how to be responsible even in what are apparently the smallest tasks．
