Because they are small animals that don't talk a
lot and they are too busy working.

huhu grubs for making music for them? So he
can get ready for the next winter and to give half
of the food to the ants and so he has lots of food
next winter.

They wanted him to learn a lesson because he
didn’t listen when they said to gather resources.

Bigfoot
bigfoot
A big,furry shadow loomed out from the darkness on two legs in the damp woods but it was not a man. I was terrified for my life. I got to the ground and hid behind a log. It was getting closer. Luckily, I had a shotgun. It jumped over the log and turned around. I shot it BANG! It ran as fast as it could. It was so tall it was like 10 feet tall. I ran to my truck. My truck was big. I saw it again as it was crossing the road. It was bleeding a lot so I revved my truck and did a burnout. I let the brake go and I was going to hit that thing BOOM. After I hit it, I got my shotgun. I got out of my truck and it was dead. I got back into my truck and went home. Luckily I live in the bush so no one saw the blood on the front of my truck. I washed my truck and went to bed… In the morning I went to see if the dead thing was still there. Omg there is another one and it was WAY! taller. It was dragging the other one off the road. I did a drift around and went to the police station. The police did nothing and they thought I was crazy. I went back out there. I found a family of 4. I saw the one I killed and I went back home and researched what they are. I found out they are bigfoots. How many are there I don't know. I need to get rid of them so I went back there.
I saw 5 including the dead one,and then one came running at me and hit my truck. I turned my truck around and I put my foot to the floor. My truck leaped forward and they were too slow. I went to the woods and set 4 big bear traps. In the morning I went to see the traps. Omg I caught all of them so I got my truck and put them in the back of the truck. I drove into town and went to the police station and told them I am not crazy and went home and put them in a coffin and buried them in my backyard then I went to bed.
The end
