The ants on this cloth are even carrying off their own casualties. Now vigorously shaking the kitten’s paw— an adventurous ant. Hardy ant, even heavily burdened you climb this sheer garden wall. The ant stepped on  by a paw of the slinking cat, just scampers away. An applecore, just short of the sea’s surging wash: caravaning ants.
