One of them could carry a ton for miles with ease. They worked willingly, but occasionally they turned on their attendants and killed them.” But this was stretching credulity a bit too far. “T say,” said one of the listeners, unbelieving, “what sort of ants are they?” “Eleph-ants,” replied the traveller.** 6.
