The emergency

It was a warm day in spring. Although the sun was shining, the temperature and humidity in the nest was perfect. The nursing ants were pampering the larves and everything seemed to be alright.
Suddenly, with big vibrations and an awful sound the ceiling disappeared.
How could this happen? It was extreamly heavy and made from a strange material they not even could bite off a little piece. When they were sitting on its top, they had an excellent view over the landscape.
But now it was gone and the face of a big giant appeard over the nest.
"This is an emergency!", the guardians shouted. " Code RED! This is no excercise! Save the larves!"
With an enormous hustle and bustle the nursing ants were hauling the larves to the save deeper cavities. When the way over the tulip bulb was too difficult, the ants helped together. Within less than two minutes, everybody was save. Only the warrior ants were defending the nest.
Some of them attacked the giant. They are so brave and they did a great job. The giant finally gave up and even removed the ceiling (note: an iron lamp) back, mumbling something like "makes no sense to plant the dahlias into an ants nest..."  No idea what that means.
Later, after finishing the repairs, they will have a big party to celebrate the overcoming of the giant! They really deserve this :-)

Mono Monday with the theme: storytelling

Sorry for the late entry. 
I felt asleep at the PC and couldn't find a right thought.
Otherwise I had a nice day. T. is on her class trip for 3 days and J. is in London for his work... freedom :-) (hehe, the freedom to cancel this and that from my ridiculous to-do-list...)
