Below is the conversation
Mr. Figinblossom's students had after they encountered the leafcutter
ants. Read it, then add your contribution to the conversation in your TRAVEL
LOG.
Jose:
OK, troops! Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco,
seis, siete. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete. Follow me, follow
me, I will lead you up the tree...
Dalia: Look! We've shrunk to the size of leafcutter ants and we're
marching right up the tree with them. Remember, Mr. F. told us some people
believe that leafcutters are magical since they can go anywhere. I guess it's
true.
Catrina: Oh, this is great - just great! I've seen a lot of wacky
science experiments go haywire in Mr. F.'s class, but ant-sized students
takes the cake. How's he going to explain this one to our parents?!
'...Uh, hello. Mrs. Kanofski, today at school we shrunk your kid...'
My mother would go through the roof!
Tina: Why wouldn't she just go through the door?
Otis: Did you know that leafcutters don't even eat all those leaves
they cut?
Charlie: Hey, what's that slurping noise?
Wally: It's an anteater!
Tina: Vacuum-cleaner alert!
Jose: !Cuidado! Onward troops! !Rapidamente!
