When I was seven years old，my family made me an ant farm (蚂蚁窝), First，we put clean sand in a thin glass box．Then we waited for the ants to arrive．
After the ants were in the glass farm，they started to make tunnels (地道)．I was amazed that each one knew well what to do．Each had its own job．
On the fifth day something terrible happened．I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over．All the tunnels fell down．Although (虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake，one by one they began to die．I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm．
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness．They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone．
