Have a great holiday, 1808!

"Big Shoes! Big Shoes!"

"Hey, man! Sorry, I meant ant. It's great to see you and hear from you again! I've seen most ant's nests were already closed and I thought you had forgotten me."

"Why do you say so, Big Shoes?" Friends are a priority and I had to say goodbye before we closed."

"Thank you, 1808. Well, so... I imagine I won't hear from you until spring, will I?"

"Of course you will, Big Shoes! I have made this step for a reason and I won't disappear just like that. No, no."

"So...?"

"Oh, God! How incompetent!"

"Are you telling me that you have Internet?"

"No, smarty pants.  We don't have Internet. We have Anternet and thanks to a simple connection of both nets I can send you emails or even talk while seeing each other's faces. What do you think?"

"I'm amazed. Totally and utterly amazed. I'm speechless, I thought that..."

"You thought we were inferior little creatures, without a scrap of intelligence. Am I right?"

"Well... Yes. To be honest, I thought like most people do. I thought you were very hard-working creatures, but nothing else. I could tell you something different, but it would be a lie."

"Don't worry, Big Shoes. We’ve known for ages that you're a bit silly and conceited, but there's nowt so queer as folk!"

"You're being a little hard on me, 1808, don't you think?"

"Well... but it's true, let's not beat about the bush. You think you are the chosen ones, the rational ones, the heirs of God and I don't know what more, but that's a stage many species have gone through thousands of years ago. It's an issue that gets cured with age, just like acne."

"For God's sake! I'm gonna go mad. Me, speaking with a philosopher ant! I'm not in my right mind."

"Come on, come one, Big Shoes, stop thinking about that. You can't even imagine all the things you still have to learn from me. I must leave now. The ant's nest closes at six o'clock and then there will be no way back."   

"But, but..."

"But nothing, I'm going on holidays, don't be tiresome. We'll be in touch. Give me you email address, come on, quickly!"

"It's fruizcar@gmail.com"

"OK.  Take care!"
