一群蚂蚁成群结队地搬运食物，它们有的抬着比自己身体大好几倍的谷粒，有的扛着树叶，有的则在后面指挥调度。它们井然有序地前进，丝毫没有混乱。队伍最前方，一只身强力壮的蚂蚁挥舞着触角，带领着队伍朝着目标前进。途中遇到障碍，它们会相互配合，一起克服困难。终于，在众蚂蚁的齐心协力下，食物被安全地运回了蚁巢。
A group of ants worked together to transport food. Some carried grains many times larger than themselves, some carried leaves, and others directed from behind. They marched forward in an orderly manner, without getting lost. At the very front, a strong ant led the column with its antennae. When they encountered obstacles, they helped each other and overcame the difficulties together. Finally, through teamwork, the ants managed to safely transport the food back to their nest.
