About 66 million (百万) years ago, an asteroid (小行星) hit the earth. Many plants and animals died, and ants didn’t find enough food. So, they turned to fungi for their food. Fungi are tiny living things. They cannot make their own food like plants do. Instead, they get food by breaking down (分解) dead plants and animals. At that time, there was a lot of this kind of food for them. Ants started to grow these fungi inside their nests (巢). They feed the fungi with dead leaves to help them grow. Then, the ants eat the fungi. Scientists find around 250 kinds of ants all over the world build these fungi gardens. The ants are like good gardeners. They weed (除草) and water the gardens.

They enjoy watching the same TV shows, and they both love spending time with their family and playing with their dog, Callie. However, the two sisters are also very different in many ways.
