Charlotte was a naughty child who acted out for attention after her brother was born. She would sing loudly, make up rules during play, and tell stories about the end of the world. Other children did not want to play with her and she was often sent home from friends' houses. While her grandparents celebrated her personality, she was sad that no one wanted to play with her anymore so she began leaving food for ants to keep her company. One day, she followed the ants through a large wooden door in the cane wall.
