Heavenly abode

It's very cozy and quiet in here. Dark too except for the thin ray of light that seeps through one of the broken hinges of the door to this heavenly den. Heavenly den indeed. We had voted this the most exotic place to be this summer. It's just got everything any of our kind can ever imagine - from luscious sugar, honey to a whole big plastic container of biscuits and confectioneries - our favorites. Cake mix, pancake mix, custard powder, caramel pudding powder... Then there is this area which we are not very interested in - rice, maida, aata et al. Not to say they are unvisited. They do have visitors alright. Smaller, bigger, different skin colored than us. But we do live in harmony with them. Its quiet and peaceful here most of the time. Except for the times when that lady barges in and distorts our organized lives. Oh no ...here she comes again! EVERYBODY ....SCRAM! RUN! HIDE! SHE IS COMING! "hey lady! Let me tell you something. We work very hard for this. Day in and day out. We don't stop. We don't sleep. We don't even stop to rest. You cant just come in one fine morning and shoo us away from here. We wont give up. So wipe that frown off your face, you lady with a bulging tummy and leave us alone! Be nice. Why cant you be more like that bespectacled tall guy of your household? We like HIM. He does us all a favor and leaves us alone. He even gave us access to the honey jar once. We were having the time of our lives then until you butted in and shut some of us inside! oh no...why do u always ignore my words and choose to shoo us down?" SWOOSH!.... there we go again .... flying into the air and all the way down to the kitchen floor. ah well... all we have to do is pop onto that floor fan, onto the wall and then back to the heavenly abode. the ants go marching one by one ...hurrah hurrah!
