[pic]
Three days now we have been struggling to keep the Black Ants out of our colony. There’s been no sign of hope; it seems that every time we push them back they come back stronger. We have been holding out in our colony surrounded by cliffs and the only way to get in and out is to cross the stream.

With me sharing my experiences, they were being able to understand the diverse nature of the United States.…
