Friendly Stranger

I was lying in bed in my hotel room window when I heard, “Hello!” I looked around till I saw an ant waving to me on my comforter.

I said, “Hi.”

The ant said, “Where are you from?”

I said, “Chicago. Where did you learn to speak English?”

The ant said, “From the TV in this room. I’m a quick study.”

I said, “Well, it’s nice to have someone to talk with.”

The ant said, “Tell me about it.”
