Ants

  
Ants are like us. They also
have a family. Each member
has its own work to do.
 Ants live together in a
colony. The queen is the
mother ant. She lays all the
eggs. The worker ants take
care of the queen. They
gather food that is shared by
everyone in the colony. They
also build and repair the
nest. The father ant flies
away with a young female to
look for a new nest. As the
queen lays her eggs, the
father ant flies around for a
while. In a few days, he dies.
