little tiny

tunnels wow what did they grow in this

an Farm tiny Peppers Eeny weeny ears of

corn it's not a real farm it's like a

like a little city of ants it's it's a

way people can keep ants as pets come on

Benny that's too weird you cannot have

an aunt as a pet ants are ants and you

cannot play with them and they're not

cute but I think ants are very

interesting only if you're another ant

which I'm not you know Jody's right Kiki

ants are

amazing hey weebus show us something

about

ants ants have been around since before

the dinosaurs they live and work

together like a team each ant has a job

to do these are the workers they find

the food and bring it back to the nest

some ants make their home inside the

ground more than a million ants can live

in one

nest

wow I had no idea Benny oh I'm sorry

ants I said that you were not

interesting but you are

amazing

help

[Music]

farm

[Music]

Sizzle well that's certainly the wrong

attitude ants are fantastic

look hey weebus show

[Music]

sizzle

wee best show Sizzle why ants are so

cool

watch ants are really strong they can

lift things that are much much bigger

than they

are these leaf cutter ants are also

called parasol ants because they carry

leaves over their heads just like

umbrellas

sometimes ants walk over a th000 ft in

search of food those ant holes keep the

soil nice and

healthy see what I mean Sizzle ants may

be small but they're strong and they're

smart and they can do amazing things

come on just check this out look at this

Breeze I know I could open the box

yeah yeah you're probably right Sizzle I

probably shouldn't mess with this

H what should I do what do you think

should I open the box

H Leon I don't think you should open the

box because if you open the box the ants

are going to get all over the place Leon

don't let the ants out of the box I

wouldn't do it I you I don't think you

should open the box ants will go

everywhere Leon don't let those ants out

no don't do it Leon if you open that

Bunch you're going to have ants in your

pants yeah what those kids said made a

lot of sense Sizzle plus the booklet

does say not to open this

thing but what to do come on Sizzle look

at these guys all hot and crowded in

there it probably means not to leave it

open and I wouldn't do that mm- I'm just

W hey fellas come on this isn't fair

fellas I'm all wrapped up here fellas

put me down

W you know

something this

isn't quite as quite as much fun as I

thought it would

be

The Ant Farm

oh Kiki and Jody were right I made a

mistake I should have thought about what

would happen when I open the ant farm I

just wanted to give him some air but I

didn't think it

through I'm really

bugged look what I've

done I could have been

careful but I

jumped the g*n guess I just got carried

away and I want to make

amends but those ants when marching one

by one and carried away my

friends oh why can't I ant an an ant

anticipate yeah even ants ants ants ants

anticipate when you anticipate you won't

be leaving things to chance and you

won't find yourself outsmarted by some

hands I guess I'll

try next time

instead not to be

Hasty but to

think

ahead sometimes it just happens that

way and things get all As

you I'd like to hide but They Carried

Away the hiding places

too why can't I ant ant ant ant

anticipate yeah even ants ants ants ants

anticipate when you anticipate you won't

be leaving things to chance and you

won't find yourself outsmarted by some

an I got to ant an ant an anticipate cuz

if I can't can't can't can't can't

anticipate everything gets all messed up

and it'll be much too late

to

The Ants

anticipate hey you guys there's some

really unusual ants upstairs and whoa

what happened down here where's all the

furniture yeah um well you see I let

some super ants out of their ant farm

and um they marched off with everything

and

everybody Leon is this some sort of

trick no it's

not Leon

please get serious this is some weird

sort of prank must have taken him all

day to move the

furniture here comes the

mustard Leon what are we going to do I

got his into this mess cuz I did

something without thinking it through

uhhuh hey how about you have you ever

done something and then been surprised

by what happened and make it fast we got

an emergency here

uh-huh one time I Shak the soda and I

opened it and it came all over my dad's

face and I got in trouble wanted to put

the ketchup on

the hamburger and then I pressed the it

went on my brother's head when I was

younger I was trying to make a peanut

butter and jelly sandwich but because I

didn't know any better I used mustard

instead of peanut butter and I ended up

making a mustard and jelly sandwich and

I had to eat it sometimes when I read I

think it could take 5 minutes but it

ends up being half an hour I told a joke

without thinking about it and no one

laughed yep it happens all the time so

maybe the way to fix this is to work

backwards you know start with what we

want to happen and then think of what

will cause that now what do we want to

happen well we want the ants to go back

into the an farm right right right so we

have to think about what will lead up to

that mhm well you guys start meanwhile

I'll go after our lunches

okay don't bother here they come now

H we're not the ones who need lunch it's

the ants right Julie that's it you're

brilliant no more than usual no no no

the ants want food that's what we can

use to get them back into the ant farm

yeah but we don't have any food now that

the salt and pepper are gone the

kitchen's empty Leon what about your

lunch what but this contains my Aunt

Harriet's cheese bread she only makes it

once a year on Arbor

[Music]

Day okay serves me

right okay ants lunch

time

there hey it's working

wow hey hang on

Kiki

are you okay oh yeah Julie we were

outside trapped on the furniture

surrounded by a million jillion ants

look out get out of the way here they

come oh look they're going back

in it worked yes hey hey Kiki were the

ants able to get inside anyone's lunch

nope everybody's lunches are okay and

they're outside

then let's go outside and get them it's

lunchtime everyone yes all right yes

lunch time okay this is

great this little experience has taught

me two things one always try to think

about where your decisions may lead and

two always carry ant Harriet's cheese

bread she's my favorite

ant oh I love that

[Music]

well I guess we better get started

cleaning up on

us

there I couldn't remember what it was

supposed to look like when I got it back

together yeah mhm well gosh NZ I hope

you realize that it's going to be a

little harder to roll it back up than it

was to unroll it h you know Sizzle you

may have something there I mean it was

pretty easy to unravel the first time

all I had to do

was oh yeah all you had to do

was just like just

like yeah like

[Music]

this you know Sizzle what we're uh

probably going to regret this H most

likely
