Ants are almost everywhere! We usually feel angry about them. But these little ones can teach us something.
Never Give Up （放弃）
Ants don't sit down or become sad when something is in front of them. One day, I watched a small ant taking a bug （虫子）. A big leaf was in its way. But the ant didn't give up. It worked very hard. Finally, the ant got the bug over the leaf and into the nest （巢穴）.
Always Plan for the Future （未来）
Ants know there are seasons. They collect food and build nests in summer and autumn. When the cold winter days come, they usually stay in their warm nests. And they won't be hungry.
Work Together
Ants are small. Everyone has its job. But they also work well as a team. Because they know they can do so much together.
You see, we can learn a lot from ants.
One day, I played computer games with some friends at home. We played for a long time. And I almost won the game. Just then, my mum walked in the room and turned of （关掉） the computer. I was so angry!
Then my mum gave me a football and said, "All right, you kids. Go out and play! I don't want to see you inside for at least （至少） one hour."
"An hour? It is cold outside!" we all said.
"Then put on your jackets and run around. You'll become warm!"
Sadly, we all went out.
Then Jimmy hit the ball with his foot and I tried to get it. We chased(追逐) each
other. And we started a football game. It was a lot of fun. Before we knew it, two hours passed （过去了）.
That day I learnt that computer games are fun, but they are not as good as the real fun!
