31、they were coming from and where they were going.I discovered they were finding crumbs on my floor and in my bed.Then,they were carrying the crumbs near the window,where they escaped between the woodwork and the wall.I went outside and tried to find them coming out of the house.I saw many ants,but no

32、ne were carrying crumbs of cookies.Maybe they lived under the house!Maybe they lived in the walls!I decided I needed to confess to Gram.I knew I had to find their nest.Id read it could be under a stone,under a log,or in a garden.Worker ants often come into houses looking for crumbs of food,especiall

33、y sweet things.I thought I had been careful eating in my room,but Grams yummy cookies,especially her peanut butter ones,did crumble.Ants carry food,such as cookies,to the nest after softening it with saliva and biting off a piece.I read that an ant can carry 20 to 50 times its body weight.I weighed

34、75 pounds.That meant if I were as strong as an ant,I could carry from 1,500 to 3,750 pounds!Ants in My Bed Level T 56Sand CastlesI always looked for different ways to make my castles special.I used varying sizes of cups,buckets,spoons,shovels,garden tools,and toys to create wondrous castles big enou

36、would dig up very wet sand,but not dripping wet,and pack it tight into a bucket mold.Then I would gently tap the sand out to form the base of my castles.I added details by pressing wet sand together in my hands and smoothing it up into lookout towers,balconies,and protective walls.Sometimes I dug a

37、deep moat,or ditch,around the castle and filled it with water.I often dripped watery sand on the edges to make fancy designs along the roof and down the walls.As a final touch,I would add shells,driftwood,seaweed,and sea glass that I had collected with Jim earlier in the morning.Ants in My Bed Level

46、 as an ant,hed be able to keep up with a racehorse.The abdomen contains the stomach.Between the thorax and the abdomen are one or two bumps called nodes.Ants do not breathe as we do because they do not have lungs.They have holes all over their body,which take in oxygen and send out carbon dioxide.Fi

47、nally,I came to a part in one book that talked about how ants lay scented trails to find the way from their nest to food and back.I decided that the ants in my room must have laid a scented trail that went across my bed.I found out that ants have three partsthe head,the thorax,and the abdomen.The he

48、ad contains the brain,two eyes,the jaws,and the antennae.The eyes of an ant are called compound eyes because each eye is actually made up of many eyes.The jaws of an ant open and close like scissors.Ants use their antennae to hear,taste,smell,and communicate by touching each other.This was all prett
