Just then a wise old ant came up, and hearing the Garuly's remark, he said, "Did you never hear the "There was once a selfish ant who could never be satisfied. He always thought he had the hardest work in the world. If he carried burdens, he complained that those who cared for the eggs had the easiest time; and if he had charge of the eggs, he wished to be changed to some other kind of work.
Bees that work hard in summer only live to be about two months old. This honey is stored for others. But see how happy they all are. How much may be done by those who work together cheerfully." Out of the hive they went, and back toward the Garuly's house. But the old man turned aside to go to an ant-hill. "Let's go in here," said the Garuly. "No, I am too large," said Simon.
The little man told Simon to go in through another door, but Simon was still too large for that, and so the Garuly again pounded him, crying, "Smaller! smaller! smaller!" Once in, Simon saw indeed the treasures of the Garuly's household.
But he did not say any thing, for fear of old Garuly's stick, but just got into the boat as soon as possible. The old man got in, too, and they were soon floating down the stream. The brook seemed like a river, and the grass upon the banks was like trees, to Simon, now.
