The Power of the Ant


Recently, while I was housecleaning, I came across an unusual demonstration of strength. I had swept a little pile of crumbs on my lamenant kitchen floor, and then vacuumed the pile up with my Hoover. On closer inspection, there remained a little black dot. I waited a second, and behold, it started to walk. A tiny ant was defying my sweeper. So, I just ran over it again, and once more, the ant clung to the floor against all odds and the 12 amp power of my vacuum. Each time I tried, it held on, then scurried forward. What strength! And, what a lesson for all of us in these uncertain times. Let us all harness the power of the ant and strive to hold on, then move forward against the Mother of all Vacuums! The present economy.
