  I am very small, like sweet black sesame seeds, the whole body is covered with bland black, is dark at night to make people afraid of black, perhaps the night cracked into pieces after the human is not afraid of us, because humans are not afraid of us at all, in their eyes, we ants small without the slightest can fight them.

  However, there are good and bad humans, and the bad ones, just like a - fearless monster.

  That time I went with several companions to find food, including my best friend Bedi, she is much older than me, she has a pair of extremely cute, heartwarming big eyes, she is our little tribe is famous for the little beauty, we were walking, suddenly, a pair of big feet standing in front of us, like a pair of huge pillars, is a giant. Humans are known to us as giants, the kind of the most ferocious animals, only to see him have fat can drip oil pig-headed face, he is simply the longest ugliest giant we have ever seen.

  Suddenly, he stretched out a hand, as if the sky sunk half, we rushed to flee, as if the next second to be thrown into the hot frying pan frying, "Bedi" is the voice of Yogi, I looked, I was immediately shocked, the evil hand crushed Bedi, Bedi did not even have time to say a word, the abominable human to end her life! The big hand also rubbed a dirt 'mountain', the disgusted expression I still can not forget. That big hand suddenly made another turn and tried to grab Yog, I rushed out, the next second as if the whole person was pressed by a huge mountain, feeling that I could not breathe, I struggled with all my strength, but also did not forget to bite on the fleshy hand. I felt the hand squeezing me loosen, and I closed my eyes uncomfortably, thinking of Bedi's death, I feel like I never want to see any human again.

  When I opened my eyes again, I saw the patriarch standing next to me sighing, I just wanted to salute, them because the patriarch is the person we respect most. However, sharp pain in my body, after a hurried check, I almost fainted again, my left calf was broken, the bloody wound passed me pain comparable to death, my tears like broken beads flowed down, I could not believe it all, I became a waste of ants, a useless waste, I became the hero of the clan, but became a disabled and, people.

  I do not know how I insisted on living until now to see the kind human, these years I live like no soul, think of how much I wanted to become a hero, but the price of becoming a hero is this, and I did not change regret, which makes me think I am crazy or stupid? I don't even take myself seriously.

  But after meeting that human, it was like a rainbow of real meaning that I had seen between the ages of five and thirteen.

  That day I was on crutches, like an old, late-life terminator, surrounded by a group of young ants, walking at the back of a food-seeking group, when suddenly there was a continuous movement in front of the group. Captain Palen touched my tentacle, "We are now in the home of a giant, that giant is watering a large flower, and next to that large flower, about three ants people are about to drown, do you feel like saving?" I almost didn't even think before answering: "Save, why not, as a captain, do you even hesitate to do such a thing? That is life like yours! If you do not save, I save." I sternly rebuked and took a slow but eager pace forward, which look really like a furious old man. "I'll go with you." It was the vice-captain Bejing, he is Bedi's brother, the team food search team also had him, afterward she regretted that she did not go to save his sister, angry at himself to cut off his legs, but was stopped by the patriarch.

  We both moved forward in unison. "Help!" An ant gently touched down my tentacle. "Don't worry, we'll save you right away." I also gently touched his tentacle, standing in front of the window that giant looked at us, I ignored his presence, with a thin stalk of grass woven into a rope handed to the nearest ant people, pulled him up, looked up to gasp for breath the moment, saw the giant ran back.

  The moment I looked up to catch my breath, I saw the giant running back. The giant pointed the needle to the side of the flower, where there was a piece of raised soil, and used the needle to gently poke away the soil, revealing the small head of a young and. I was shocked that the giant was helping us. I was silent as if I didn't have a care in the world, and no matter how Baekjeong called out behind me, I still insisted on walking over and pulling the young and out and putting it on my back.

  When I returned to my clan, I closed my door and blamed myself for thinking the giants were too bad, he was the good, the best giant, all these years I thought wrong, I have to rethink it, where is the good of the giants ......
