The Saga of Andy Ant and the TV continued,,



"So. You guys did not realize that you were getting bigger?" Asked Bob as he raised his cup.
“Nope" replied Andy Ant,“I guess that that may seem strange, but all we saw were other ants from our nest, don’t get along too kindly with strangers, so we  don’t live near them, and we were all getting big. You lived in the desert Bob?” Andy asked. “25 Years.” replied Bob. “So, you know that there is not much to measure yourself against. Any way, we just grew , enjoyed some sugar on the Queen’s Birthday and did our ant thing.  Except for TV of course.” “TV ?"  Asked Grrr.” Well, we, ah sorta, found a TV and projector that the humans left behind and a  generator. One of the fellas figured out how to attach it to a windmill  for power and we disguised the antenna as a cactus plant. I tell you fellas, once you get used to TV, it is powerful hard to do without it. So when the scouts went through that town that the humans blew up looking for any leftover sugar, and brought back the TV and parts, well her highness ruled that if the humans had wanted that TV and those parts, they would have taken them. So it was abandoned and finders keepers. The whole nest was mighty pleased with that.
