Passage One
There are many kinds of ants in the world that always live in companies. They are
the most hard-working creatures and most of them make their nests under ground. The
small black ants that
we see running back and
forth
in the
grass are the same ants
that
bother
us
by
coming
to
our
picnics
uninvited.
They
are
not
trying
to
be
harmful,
but
are only doing
the
house-keeping job
they
were
made
for.
They
are
nature
’
s clean-up
crew.
One
of
these
ants,
scouting
in
the
grass,
finds
the
trail
of
an
injured
beetle.
In
some
mysterious
way
the
news
spreads.
Soon
there
are
two
ants,
then
a
few
more.
Then a dozen or
more are running around
the beetle. Enough ants will come to put an
end to it.
Then
the
beetle
is
dead,
the
ants
carry
it
away
to
their
underground
nests.
They
leave nothing in the grass but empty shell.

51.
