see what fascinated him, and
there popping in and out of many
tiny holes in the tree, were doz-

Bobby whispered.

Many of his friends were doing
the same thing. Each carried a

one of the holes and came out
again with another piece.
They're carpenter ants, Bobby"
I remarked.

Bobby.
Yes. my boy. And they're
building their house inside this
old rotten log. This is just the
kind of place they always choose
to build in during the Summer"

Bobby said wistfully.

Bobby could hardly wait until
Fall. Many times he walked 70
the fallen tree and wistfully
looked at it during the long Sum-

Finally cold weather came and
with it the ants vacated their
house. So one day, I took my
Ratchet and called Bobby. His
eyes were as big as saucers as I
made a cash in the trunk of the

How do they make their

asked. What tools do they use?"
"They carry their own tools
with them all the time, Bobby.
There's never any fear of their
losing them, because their tools
are fastened right on their heads"

What are they like?"
"They are called mandibles.

pair of scissors, except that the in
side edge is furnished with sharp
tiny teeth-like saws. With these
they can carve and dig and saw
and cut. And this Summer YOU
saw them carrying away the wood

"As we turned to go into our

at the scythe which looked rather
rusty and said:
