Asleep And Places Like It

Narrator: And so it happened, several days later, that Aunt Panorama took a seat across from two worldly-looking gentlemen. Worldly Gentleman: Yeah, this "ant circus" idea of yours sounds . . .yes, interesting. But, when can we expect to see this . . .heh, heh . . . Ant-O-Rama? Aunt Panorama: No time like the present, eh, gentlemen? Narrator: She whistled sharply. Immediately, there was a buzzing, sizzling sound that seemed to come from under the baseboards and, without further ceremony, the room began to fill up with ants, all carrying little bundles. One of the gentlemen gave a yell and tore all the buttons off his suit, climbing on top of his desk. But in five minutes . . they were convinced. Different Worldly Gentleman: But . . .how is this possible?Aunt Panorama: Oh, I give them an idea or two and they take it from there!Narrator: And did they ever! Why, there were thousands of carpenter ants putting up little canvas bigtops! Ant aerialists, ant tumblers, ant clowns with tiny red noses
