Ants
Although in strength little ants are weak seemingly,
Years of their gnawing may bring about a calamity.
By hard work, they can make a river or sea leak,
Also they can eat up a giant whale beak by beak.
By unremitting efforts, they destroy rafters and beams,
Digging hard, they cause collapses of stone columns.
Those who are in power here is my advice for all,
Don’t make light of things unimportant and small.
(tran.)
