WHAT DO ANTS LOOK LIKE?

                Ants are small insects. Like all insects, ants have six legs. The smallest ants are 0,7 millimeters long. Therefore they are hard to see. The biggest ants are almost 1 inch (3 centimeters) long.

                Ant’s body seems to have a very thin waist. The narrow waist lets the ant bend when it goes around turns in underground tunnels. Make ants and young queen ants have wings. The workers of many species of ants have a stinger for fighting against enemies.

                An ant has a mouth with three parts. The most important part is jaws. The jaws can be used for carrying things, collecting food, building nests, fighting, and cutting. Ants use their lower jaws for chewing and their tongues for sucking up liquids.

                Adult ants can swallow only liquid foods, but some ants can chew solid foods by making the foods into liquid forms.

The Monkey and The Crab

                Long ago, at the foot of a mountain, lived a crab. On a warm spring day, the crab walked leisurely along a nearby river. Suddenly a big rice ball dropped in front of her. “Oh my God! What a good thing I found”, she said to herself.

                Then a greedy monkey came. He wanted to have the rice ball, so he said, “Hey, let’s trade the rice ball with my fruit seed. This seed is better than that rice ball. When you eat the rice ball, it disappears, but if you put this seed on the ground, it will grow and produce a lot of fruits.” The crab agreed to exchange the rice ball. Then she took the seed home and planted it.

                Soon the seed grew into a small bud and became a big tree. It made a lot of red fruits. The crab wanted to eat the fruit, but she could not climb the tree. Then the monkey came again, climbing the tree and eating the fruits. The crab begged the monkey to pick some for her and her kind. Yet, the selfish monkey took a hard green fruit and threw it to the crab. She was smashed very hard.

                The crabs kids started to cry and their noise attracted other animals. They soon found out what happened. The King of the animals decided to give the monkey a punishment.

                Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in Java that was attacked by another kingdom. The King asked his Queen to save her life. Alas! In the middle of the jungle, the enemy killed all her guards. However, the Queen was lucky because she changed herself into a golden snail and survived.

                One day, an old woman saw the snail and took it home. She looked after it. Whenever the old woman was not at home, the snail turned into a human being. She cooked and did the household chores. When the old woman got home, the Queen quickly changed into a snail again. It happened several times and made the old woman curious. One day, the old woman peeped and saw what was going on. She broke in, immediately. She asked, “Why did you change yourself into a snail? ”. The Queen told her what happened. The old woman was surprised to know that the snail was a Queen.

                Later, from the head of the village they discovered that the King had won the battel and he was looking for his wife. Then the village head sent a message to the King telling him that his wife was safe.

                Several days later, the King and his guards came for the Queen. They thanked the villagers for their kindness and brought the old women to their palace.

                Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out as eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves, buds, or flowers of plants.

                When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one week. Some others take years to change.

                When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect unfolds its wings and pumps blood and air into them. It spreads out the wings until they become dry and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live only for one or two weeks.
