meep ⦠âThat ant queen!â said Thudd. âQueen ant make all ant babies. Ant babies hatch from eggs. Look like worms. Ant queen use smell to rule! Lotsa ants take care of queen and ant babies.â
Their ant carried them through the queenâs room into another dark tunnel.
Judy moaned. âHow are we ever going to get out of here?â
meep ⦠âGot idea!â said Thudd. He pointed to his antennas. âThudd make smells like ant. Try make smell that tell ant to take us out!â
Thuddâs antennas waggled. Andrew and Judy couldnât smell anything. But their ant came to a stop and put down the mealybug.
âOop!â said Thudd. âWrong smell.â
Thudd waggled his antennas again. The ant gently picked up the mealybug and scampered down the tunnel.
meep ⦠âTry again,â said Thudd, waggling his antennas.
This time, the antâs antennas waggled, too. It turned around in the tunnel and began to race toward the queenâs room.
In the queenâs room, ants were scurrying frantically. Some carried eggs. They were all leaving. Their ant rushed out with the others.
âHoly moly, Thudd!â said Andrew. âWhat did you tell them?â
âMake big danger smell!â said Thudd.
Andrew saw a dot of light ahead. Their ant was scrambling up the tunnel that led outside. Andrew turned off his flashlight and clipped it back on to his belt loop.
âWeâve got to get off this ant!â said Andrew.
âWithout getting stomped by the other ants,â said Judy.
The antâs head popped out of the anthill. Andrew took a big breath of fresh air.
Ants were trailing out into the garden. Andrew and Judy tugged themselves away from the sticky mealybug.
Their ant was skittering over a rock. The ground below was covered with brown teacup-shaped things. They were half the size of the ant, but they were big enough to be swimming pools for Andrew and Judy. At the bottom of each cup were shiny black blobs.
Andrew pointed to the strange cups. âWe can jump into one of those. Weâll be safe there until the ants go by,â he said.
Judy nodded.
meep ⦠âOkey-dokey,â said Thudd, âas long as no rain happen.â
âItâs sunny!â said Andrew. He jumped off the mealybug. Judy followed.
Andrew and Judy drifted down into one of the cups. They landed on one of the shiny black blobs. It was sticky.
meep ⦠âLand in cannon fungus,â said Thudd.
âCannon fungus?â said Andrew. âWhy do they call it that?â
âAaaaaack!â they heard Mrs. Scuttle scream. âIâm soaking wet! Drop that water gun right now, you little beast!â
âNuh-uh!â Jeremy Snarfless answered loudly. He gave a nasty laugh.
Splaaaaat!
A big drop of water splashed into the cannon fungus.
