Some six or seven of the ants had attempted to run off without performing their share of the task of digging ; these were caught and brought back, when they were at once attacked by the body of ants and killed upon the spot. A single grave was quickly dug, and they were all dropped into it.

If the fork is not removed when the spider has arrived it seems to have the same charm as any fly : for the spider seizes it, embraces it, and runs about on the legs of the fork as often as it is made to sound, never seeming to learn by experience that other things may buzz besides its natural...

Following this common track with rapidity, she at first overshot the point of divergence ; but, quickly recovering it, without any hesitation chose the track which turned to the right.
