The Ant and the Spider's Web

The ant was marching beside his fellow ant, just like they do in the song "the ants go marching two by two..." except there is no 'hurrah'. In any case, the ant was marching along. Suddenly a spider comes up to him and asks him a question. I don't know what the question was, but it definitly was a question because the ant replied: "I don't know where your web is, and I'd rather not know, thank you very much!" the ant really is a polite fellow, but the spider was offended.

"My web is fresh and clean and.." she started, but the ant conitnued: "...and sticky."

In any case, the ant moved on. I dare say that the spider was not to be left like that, and she ran after the ant. The ant stopped. He turned around. He looked the spider square in the eyes. And then he said:

"There is a bird behind you." and continued on his way.

Thus is the life of an ant.
