A 300-word essay on Gantang’s short story

Someone once said: It is not the lack of beauty in life, but the lack of eyes to discover beauty. My life is full of fun, and I especially like little ants.

The little ant is wearing dark clothes and his body looks like a big question mark. The flat head is equipped with a pair of sensitive tentacles, which sway and squirm from time to time, like two slender detectors. The small eyes composed of millions of compound eyes are black and bright. The small mouth is triangular, like a pair of delicate scissors, which can be used to taste food and serve as a self-defense weapon. There are three pairs of slender legs on its small chest. The bulging abdomen is like a small ball. There is also short villi on the tail end of the abdomen.

Ant is a magical little animal. What’s amazing about it is that it is an excellent all-around athlete. Experiments have proven that ants are good swimmers. If you put it into the water, it will not drown, but will use its six flexible legs to glide quickly on the water. Seeing the ant's graceful swimming style, I thought: Why don't we learn "ant swimming"! In addition, it is also a famous sprinter. Whenever I catch it with my hands, it uses a "roundabout" escape method to run around. When it encounters obstacles, it will climb over them without hesitation. Even Liu Xiang would be disappointed if he saw the speed.

The ant’s magic is even more evident in that it is a dedicated weather forecasting expert. As the saying goes: "Ants move and snakes move across the aisle, and there will be heavy rain soon." Every time before a heavy rain, the ant family will move their "possessions" to their new homes in groups and in an orderly manner. They are really prepared for a rainy day! It is also a famous doctor. If a person's urine attracts ants, it means that the person may have diabetes.

Ant’s magic is also reflected in its ability to eat a lot of food. Ants have two stomachs, one to store food for themselves and the other to store food for their companions. Although ants can lift things twenty times heavier than themselves, once they find food, they will still call on their brothers to carry it with them.

I can’t help but admire the ants’ spirit of concerted efforts and selfless dedication.

Do you think ants are amazing?
