– «I also feel offended when they do not give one more bone»! – said Hanukkah, silently looking at the Indian with the book.

– «My four-legged friend, no matter how much you feed, there will still be little. You do not know the measure»! – answered Mamuka.

– «How can I not know the measure»?

– «Your belly is not that huge, but the Giant has it! Listen further, now I’ll read you more about ants».

You can also bite off the ass of a forest ant. It tastes sour, but healthy. It contains formic acid.

Important: only forest ants are allowed to bite, because they are clean.

Some birds specially sit on the anthill and begin to wallow in it. Angry ants start running around dirty or sore spots on the bird – this is called anting. This is how birds take care of their feathers and get rid of ticks.

– «I remember how one bit me»! – said Hanukkah.

– «If not for the Giant, you would have walked with him».

– «It’s not true, I would have chewed it off myself».

– Never: do not gnaw, do not scratch, do not tear off a tick!
