An ant trail in my room
I went into my room and saw a long trail of ants and wondered why they had invaded my room. A trail of big red ants in my room! What brought them there? What were they were upto? Were they there to taste my sweet ayurvedic pastes or where they trying to infiltrate the cardboard box in which I had packed my old computer? What if my mother finds red ants packed along with the computer that she was fondly expecting to be delivered to her? I would sure get a thrashing. I had to find out what they were out to do lest they should cause some untold damage. I followed the trail that stretched from my window overlooking the mango tree to the shelf on the wall, with a final descent to the floor and back again to the window and finally to the mango tree. I found them carrying a brightly coloured little insect. It had a little black head speckled with golden spots, and I wondered how beautiful it would have been had it been alive! And then I saw another dead fly being carried away and then a dead grasshopper, which had happily hopped around my room last night. Such a short life I moaned. Why interfere with the ant’s trail? After all they’re cleaning up my room! I decided to leave the ants to do their work, and was grateful cause I dint have to sweep my room in the morning. And I went on to do my work taking a cue from those big red ants and the dead insects.
