The ants must keep food underground. 7/19

The Queen wants food to fill the store, so all the ants must work some more. 8/19

Little Ant begins to shout about a place he read about. “A restaurant is what we need, a place where people go to feed. It says so in the books I read.” 9/19

The ants go marching one by one. They march into the setting sun. 10/19

11/19

And Little Ant said “Hey, there’s one!” 12/19
