Busy Ants

Kanchan Bannerjee

Hello, I am the fourth one in the line. Can you see me?

Left, right, left, right. We walk silently in a line.

I just got an idea. I am going to get a set of WHEELS to move faster!

We are not noisy like other animals. Ours is a language of smells.

One kind of smell says, “Follow me this way for a feast.”

Another smell says, “Danger! Do not go there.”

I love cakes and all kinds of sweets, just like you.

Want to see my muscles at work? I may look very tiny to you, but I am very strong.

Never mind if the door is shut. I can slip through the smallest crack.

Believe it or not, hundreds of us live happily in a colony.

LET US LEARN SOME NEW WORDS.
Small - Big
Slow - Fast
Short - Tall
Thin - Fat
Hard - Soft
Noisy - Quiet
Here are some words with their opposites. Can you make a sentence for each pair of opposite words?
For example, ‘An ant is small; an elephant is big’.
“As busy as an ant” is a nice way to describe someone who is very hard working.
