Getting up later each morning, I was spending more and more time with my smart phone and the TV. But when my mom told me that I couldn’t use my smart phone, I felt like I had lost my world. I had nothing to do, circling from room to room all day. One day, Mom asked me if I would accept a challenge to follow the same ant for ten minutes. “What’s so difficult about that?” I asked. “You might be surprised. ” Mom smiled “Is there a prize for the challenge?” I asked. “Of course. But if you lose, you’ll have to do some housework. ” To win the challenge, I needed a special ant so that I could follow him easily. My eyes were fixed on a big ant carrying a leaf. “There he goes, Mom. ” She set the timer for 10 minutes. For the first time, the ant ran all the way to the gate. “Perfect!” I thought. Then, he came to a wide crack（裂缝）, he tried to cross, but failed. Then he disappeared into the grass. My heart sank as I saw myself cleaning the bathroom. Then surprisingly, he climbed out carrying a piece of leaf and was back on his way. For the last three minutes, he dropped his leaf as if he would disappear again. To my surprise, he placed the leaf across the crack and walked across it to the other side like a bridge. Wow! Just then, my mom’s timer rang. I was lucky to win my prize. But I was mostly encouraged by the ant that actually created its own bridge. Now Mom has allowed me to have my phone, but I learned there is still more other fun in life. 36.
