Are you bored in summer vacation, and getting overwhelmed in the house? Maybe you need a peaceful holiday. In this way, you will not get bored and have lots of fun. There is an awesome hotel in an awesome town that I can recommend to you. Of course, it is 5-starred. The favorite of the ant town, the Queen Ant Hotel. If you don't want to spend a very boring time in the house and enjoy an awesome hotel service, listen to me.
The hospitable staff of the Queen Ant Hotel.
You will meet the care that the staff shows you when you come to Queen Ant Hotel. The ants are very hospitable. No matter how heavy your bags are, they will grab and carry them immediately to your room. They can carry 20 times their weight. That's why don't worry about them! They can even carry you if you are exhausted. You are more than welcome after all.
Food menu.
In the hotel’s menu, unfortunately, there is the same warm starter, main dish, and dessert every day. Firstly, a plate of freshly collected morning leaves is served as a warm starter. You smoothen your stomach by eating it. Afterward, a plate of dead small bugs arrives. I know, this meal is not for you at all. But this is a meal that ants usually prefer. You can tell the queen ant, who deals with almost everything, that you don'twant to eat this plate and want to get something else. I am sure that she will understand you and arrange another meal for you. As for the dessert, a sugar cube is served that is lightly fried until it is cooked in an oven and cooled afterward. The taste is wonderful. Bon appetit in advance.
Outdoor Entertainments.
You can rest in your room after the meal. But afterward, you should know that the outdoor entertainments are waiting for you. You might have gotten bored in this enormous underground hotel or stayed in stale air all day. In that case, I wait you to the outdoor entertainment at 20.30 o'clock. This hospitable hotel also invites a music group, whose members are ants, called "The Colors", which is famous among ants, for outdoor entertainment for its guests. These singer ants are in green, yellow, red, blue, and purple colors. You may think this is not possible. But these colored ants are found in nature. They build up this group because they are colorful and different from most of the ants. You definitely shouldparticipate in this concert. Besides the concert, there are entertainments like tree branch pulling, leaf snatch, and antenna painting.
You no longer need to stay idly. You can come to this hospitable hotel where you can stay for days by paying with a few leaves. Also, you can bring your family, relatives even your dynasty. Because this hotel has many rooms and food that you can't imagine.
Oh no! We have an obstacle that can cause a big problem. You are like a bit little, very little, little big. To enter from the door of the hotel, from the hole in the small pile of dirt.
