One day, the sign of cheap grain shop suddenly hung in front of the house where he lived. The lazy ant was afraid and thought, I don't know what will happen.
However, the next day, the family had several more bags of sugar, and the male ants danced with joy.
Now it can hide in the hole all day. Whenever he feels hungry, he climbs out of the hole and stutters, then rubs his belly into the hole. But it didn't last long. One day, everything in this family moved away, and there was no sign, let alone a candy. The only thing left is this lazy ant. With nothing to eat, the male ants are getting thinner and thinner.
It's complaining about its fate. When it saw a group of female ants dragging sugar particles coming here, the male ants quickly stepped forward and said, "Sisters, I haven't eaten for several days, and my lips are dying of thirst ..."
The mother ant said, "However, your hands and feet are intact and your body is healthy. Why not make some effort to get yourself something to eat? "
The male ant was speechless and got it right. I watched the sugar being taken away by them, and my mouth watered. He rubbed his eyelids and put on a sad face: "Give me some candy, I'm dying."
One of the smallest female ants said contemptuously, "It seems that you will lie in the nest all day and sleep comfortably. I don't work alone. I am a real slacker. "
Another female ant echoed the voice and pursed her mouth high and said, "Really? It's a dream to ask us for something to eat without working! "
After listening to the mother ant, the male ant was very angry. He turned red with anger and said, "Shut up, or I'll crush you all and take all the sugar away."
Instead of being afraid, all the female ants opened their mouths and laughed, and then said together:
"Don't talk big, you even have difficulty walking, let alone hitting us. We all work all day, eat sweets and are full of energy, not to mention a slacker like you, no one will help you. "
The male ant really jumped on the female ant, but the female ant deftly dodged.
An old female ant came out to persuade the male ant to say, "eldest brother, why are you so angry?" I'll give you my candy. "
The male ant was hungry for a long time. As soon as the old ant spoke, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Eat all the sugar three times, five times and twice. After eating, I said, "thank you, but I'm not full."
"Yes, let's go! I'll take you to the sugar warehouse to make sure you're full. " The old ant said with a smile.
The mother ant walks in front, and the male ant chases after. After a long walk, the male ant was out of breath and breath. It has no habit of walking long distances at all, so it can't stand it. It keeps asking, "Sister, how far are you going?"
"Soon, soon, big brother!" The corners of the mouth of the old ant showed a smile again.
The male ants are already sweating and panting.
The sugar bank is just ahead. The male ant had a brainwave and came up with an unworkable method. He said to the mother ant:
"Elder sister, why don't we move our family here and sit and eat candy every day?"
"I can't, eldest brother, there are too many people living here, maybe one day they will be trampled to death. And most importantly, the sweetness of the food obtained by labor is not tasted in the food obtained for nothing. You don't believe me, now try this candy again. " The old ant said to the male ant.
The male ant pounced on the sugar. The male ant ate a whole pile of sugar, rubbed his stomach and said, "Sister, you taught me. I have loved it all my life. Now that I have gone with you, I deeply understand that sugar is still the same, but it tastes particularly sweet today. "
The female ants laughed together, and they said to the male ants in unison, "My eldest brother, this is the result of your labor. If you can persist in this way, you will get real pleasure in life. " You will stand on your own feet and not depend on anyone. "
This male ant was really educated today and felt extremely comfortable. Mother ants are also very happy, because they have brought a lazy man to the right path.
