came to his own hole at last, no doubt.

After a while he got hungry again, perhaps. He thought about that jar
of sweets at the end of a string. Then perhaps he told the other ants.
Maybe he let them know that there was a string by which they could get
down to the jar.

In about half an hour after the ant had gone up the string, Franklin
saw a swarm of ants going down the string. They marched in a line, one
after another. Soon there were two lines of ants on the string. The
ants in one line were going down to get at the sweet food. The ants in
the other line were marching up the other side of the string to go
home. Do you think that the greedy ant told the other ants about
the jar?

And did he tell them that there was a string by which an ant could get
there?

And did he tell it by speaking, or by signs that he made with his
feelers?

If you watch two ants when they meet, you will see that they touch
their feelers together, as if they said "Good-morning!"

One day Franklin was eating dinner at the house of a friend. The lady
of the house, when she poured out the coffee, found that it was
not hot.
