264 ANTS AND CHILDREN OF THE GARDEN 



are now mining a new home forty feet east of the old one, 

 jmiong the fruitful weeds in our last year's bean patch. 

 Come and see. 



ANT. Hello, children'. 



FLORENCE. Well, this is June the first and our year 

 is up. So it's good-bye ants and all the other insects. 



DOROTHY. I think of our Harvesters as little people. 

 You know they would let us play with them weren't 

 afraid. 



KENNETH. Look at them now all working and all 

 minding their own business. 



CECIL. And the wisest of all insects. 



ANT. Thank you. 



Farewell. 



ALBERT. Here's to your success and happiness, Ant. 

 Attention! The Bean Gang will come to order for this 

 last meeting and make remarks afterwards. We have spent 

 many pleasant hours with our little friends since July 1st, 

 one year ago. Is there any unfinished business? 



FLORENCE. I move that Ant be elected an honorary 

 member of the Bean Gang. 



ALBERT. The motion is carried and you are appointed 

 to bring the new member forward. Any farewell speeches?
