Q~*Where are they going?

Q~*Look at mall ants, so busy, where are they going?

A~* They are all going in search of food. There principle is, the day is for working and the night is for rest. So they start their work early in the morning. If a little bit of sugar falls, in minutes so many ants collect around it. They do not say, ``Not today, we will come tomorrow to pick up sugar, now we are feeling very lazy.’’ Observe some birds making their nests. They do not stop till they have finished their work.
