“Oh, ants, my sisters, good old honeydew-seekers! From close up you are sticky and shiny and gristly; and your nymphs have parasitic red mites stuck to them. You are too intent upon your chewing and gathering to listen to me, but I tell you that despite my warm feelings I really do not like you, and I cannot feel sorry for you in any way because there are too many of you and you are not cute at all. You eat too much of my forests; you are a rebellious tribe, and I will destroy you; I will poison your nests with sweet-smelling traps.” WayFeelsFeelingsToo MuchSweetLike YouRedSorryWarmStuckForestsDespiteCutePoisonMy SisterTrapsTribesGatheringSeekersRebelliousAntsNestsListen To MeChewingStickyNymphsFeel Sorry For You Author:William T.
