Someone is bound to point out, the ant isn't even a bird. It isn't the ant's fault it's not a bird. It would be politically incorrect to discriminate against the ant because of the form in which it was created. The ant has as much right to be the national bird as you do. I bet you never guessed I was going to get to that.
Ants are industrious.
They work together. They get the job done. Not only that. They tackle what would seem an impossible job if they stopped to worry about it. Instead of fretting about the difficulties, the ant grabs a grain of sand and is on its way.
