THE AMBITIOUS ANT by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: THE AMBITIOUS ANT WOULD A-TRAVELLING GO
Last Line: "HOW GLAD I AM THAT I CROSSED THE SEA!"
Subject(s): ANTS; INSECTS; BUGS;

The ambitious ant would a-travelling go
To see the pyramid's wonderful show.
He crossed a brook and a field of rye,
And came to the foot of a haystack high.
"Ah! wonderful pyramid!" then cried he;
"How glad I am that I crossed the sea!"
