I've been using Aesop's Fables in my English classes the last few days and coincidentally I learned my own lesson today.
I've developed a taste for cookies, and sometimes pick them up at the shop when I have to buy something else. I wanted a snack this afternoon so I opened the Ziploc bag where I keep them and without looking pulled out a cookie and popped it in my mouth. I didn't realize it was covered in stinging ants until they stung me dozens of times. Apparently there was a hole in the bag. This was even worse than the ants in my water jug. The moral of the story? Don't eat junk food... and watch what you put in your mouth. Fortunately I don't have to worry about that right now since I'm not really interested in cookies anymore and my lips are still a bit swollen too.

Yikes! That's a terrible experience! We have fire ants (red) here, they make big nests in the flower beds and really sting if you disturb them.
