There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; - Making preparations for hard times is a wise thing. The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; - Building on strong foundations is always commended in the scriptures. The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; - Even these knows something about community living. The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. - Hard work brings you everywhere. (Proverbs 30:24-28 KJV)
