chapter 5 of the storybook of science this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org the storybook of science by jean-henry fabre translated by florence bicknell chapter 5 the sheepfold

in the evening uncle paul resumed the story of the ants at that hour jacques was in the habit of going the round of the stables to see if the oxen were eating their fodder and if the well-fed lambs were sleeping peacefully beside their mothers under the pretense of giving the finishing touches to his wicker basket jacques stayed where he was the real reason was that the ants cows were on his mind uncle paul related in detail what they had seen in the morning on the elder how the plant lice let the sugary drops ooze from their tubes how the ants drank this delicious liquid and knew how if necessary to obtain it by caresses

what you are telling us master said jacques puts warmth into my old veins i see once more how god takes care of his creatures he who gives the plant laos to the ant as he gives the cow to man yes my good jacques returned uncle paul these things are done to increase our faith in providence whose all-seeing eye nothing can escape to a thoughtful person the beetle that drinks from the depths of a flower the tuft of moss that receives the raindrop on the burning tile bear witness to the divine goodness

to return to my story if our cows wandered at will in the country if we were obliged to take troublesome journeys to go and milk them in distant pastures uncertain whether we should find them or not it would be hard work for us and very often impossible how do we manage them we keep them close at hand in enclosures and in stables this also is sometimes done by the ants with the plant lice to avoid tiresome journeys sometimes useless they put their herds in a park not all have this admirable foresight however besides if they had it would be impossible to construct a park large enough for such innumerable cattle and their pasturage how for example could they enclose in walls the willow that we saw this morning with its population of black lice it is necessary to have conditions that are not beyond the forces available given a tuft of grass whose base is covered with a few plant lice the park is practicable ants that have found a little herd plan how to build a sheepfold a summer chalet where the plant lice can be enclosed sheltered from the two bright rays of the sun they too will stay at the chalet for some time so as to have the cows within reach and to milk them at leisure to this end they begin by removing a little of the earth at the base of the tuft so as to uncover the upper part of the root this exposed part forms a sort of natural frame on which the building can rest now grains of damp earth are piled up one by one and shaped into a large vault which rests on the frame of the roots and surrounds the stem above the point occupied by the plant lice openings are made for the service of the sheepfold the chalet is finished its inmates enjoy cool and quiet with an assured supply of provisions what more is needed for happiness the cows are there very peaceful at their rack that is to say fixed by their stickers to the bark without leaving home the ants can drink to satiate the sweet milk from the tubes

let us say then that the sheepfold made of clay is a building of not much importance raised with little expense and hastily one could overturn it by blowing hard why lavish such pains on so temporary a shelter does the shepherd in the high mountains take more care of his hut of pine branches which must serve him for one or two months

it is said that ants are not satisfied with enclosing small herds of plant lice found at the base of a tuft of grass but that they also bring into the sheepfold...

what do they find on the elder to fill their stomachs ask jewels here are some that can hardly drag along oh that gluttons gluttons no uncle paul corrected him for they have a worthy motive for gorging themselves there is above on the elder an immense number of the cows the descending ants have just milked them and it is in their punch that they carry the milk for the common nourishment of the anthill colony let us look at the cows and the way of milking them don't expect i warn you herds like ours one leaf serves them for pasturage
