continued on its way.I was __
3__ by the cleverness of this ant.It was only a small insect,lacking of

4__ yet equipped with a brain to reason,explore, discover and overcome. But this ant, like the other
twolegged creatures __

6__ reached its destination-a flower bed and a small hole that was the
entrance to its __
