Finding it bitter she said, "Do come a visit my house. I'm sure you'll
find the food there much to your liking."
The salt-fed ant accepted her neighbour's invitation but being naturally
cautious and not wanting to run short of food she took a grain of salt
with her in her mouth.
When she ate the sugar she said, "Frankly I don't know what you're
talking about. Your food tastes much like mine.'
The sugar fed ant replied, "Perhaps that's because you're hounding on to
something of your own. Get rid of that and I'm sure you'll notice
the difference."
The salt fed ant cleaned out her mouth, tasted the sugar and
never returned to the sack of salt.
