On the fifth day a tragedy happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over.
All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm .
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness . They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed , I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world , but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork . Working together , the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves . I also learned that they should be admired for their hard word.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: adversity is a natural part of life , and must be accepted . Unlike the ants ,we cannot give up when we are sad . We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone , we must building another .
Giving up , I say , is not a good choice.

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me ￡12，” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship to Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me￡12. ”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes, ” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”
“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam, ”he said . “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
