When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass
box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was very surprised that each one
knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) 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 the earthquake, one by one they
began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry bodies to a corner
of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not understand why 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 work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) 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 build another.
