* you ever look at an anthill?

- yes

* ever step in one?

- no, but i saw another boy step in one.

* what did the ants do?  they all ran around all over the place, but they didn’t leave the hill, and they rebuilt it.  that’s the way it is with war, little or great.  people just go on.  they get right up and they go on because they have to have water and bread and a roof, and they start again no matter what happens.  and one day you can be grabbed by the soldiers and sold as a slave, and the next day they won’t even see you pass by.  because it’s over.  somebody said it was over.
