Because there are so many humans, they started making factories, more cars, and used all the land that could be used%u2014they even filled in the sea! The day finally came when all the animals and insects went extinct except for ants and rats. The last animals on Earth wanted to return to the time when humans didn%u2019t exist, so they planned a revolution against the humans. Just as they started planning%u2014Boom!
