Mann (For the Literary Service Bureau) “Tis the Nature of the Ant to Sting” No one can understand why cer tain insects are here to torment us. But they are here. And they run true to form. Man has intelligence to en able him to shun them, for his own protection. The ant is a stinging in sect. Its nature is to sting. No one should be surprised that he follows his nature. There are human beings w'ith in sect tendencies. Some are cross and sharp and their words sting. These characters should be shunned. If a person should put an ant into his bosom he has no right to complain of the sting. And the same is true if one will harbor a mean, cross, stinging person. Better shun human ants if you don’t want to feel the sting of their sharp tongue and their biting words. Remember, it is the nature of the ant to sting.
