43' The ant was exceedingly industrious. She knew every morsel in the anthill and the number and place assigned to it. Every foray was under her indirect supervision. She chose which sorts of edibles were to have top priority, according to their size, weight, storageability and appetising appearance Cants aren't too particular as to tastej, and Where each was to be stored. When the Winter came, the rest of the colony was pleasantly sur- prised at the results of all their labor and Won- dered how it had all been accomplished. 'The in- dustrious ant smiled, and nibbled a bit of popcorn. Moral: Behind every anthill there is at least one ant. 36 Peninah Chilton

The sea gull glided smoothly over the calm, blue water, exulting in the peaceful solitude of the upper air. The warmth of the sunshine saturated her with a beautiful happiness that was all her own and she began to dance. She soared upwards toward the sun and then, with a swift, elegant motion, curved in an arc, her wings extended confidently at an angle to the sea. The gull, feel- ing the cool, salty spray as she neared the waves, at the last moment turned and spiraled joyfully back up through the feather-weight air, ending the dance with a spin. In the distance, several sea gulls appeared, babbling away about all sorts of important things and occasionally bumping into each other in their happy heedlessness. Catching sight of them and observing their carefree content, the sea gull relinquished her solitude and glided away to enjoy the company of her fellow birds. Moral: Birds of a feather flock together, but the lucky one doesn't need to. ...-l Robin Murray xx 1 X
