Snack Dilemma The last few days I was feeling sick and most of the time I was sleeping. And since I had a mild fever and body ache I was not able to eat much or do anything other than sleep. So, yesterday I decided to buy some snacks for myself as I was craving something spicy. I went out at night and bought some spicy fried snacks and kept them in one of the drawers on my writing desk. Later that night I felt pangs of hunger and I thought of eating some spicy snacks and to my surprise, an army of red ants had attacked my snacks and they were all over the packet. They ruthlessly tore the packet and entered as if on war. Now I was in a dilemma; should I just shoo them away and eat the snacks or should I let them plunder their loot? I was frustrated as I really wanted to eat something spicy and although I was sick I went out and got them for ME and not for those plundering ANTS! It took a moment for me to relax and then I was not angry at the ants. I let them eat those spicy snacks and I was hoping they would finish all of it soon. So, today I went back to my desk to check if the ants have finished all of my snacks. And again to my surprise, I did not find even a single pesky, plundering, ant! They all went away from whichever hold they had creeped out from and all I could think of was that maybe they too were in a dilemma if they should shoo away the human and continue eating or let the human eat; and I guess they decided to let the human eat!

It's a nice dilemma. You can eat together. I prefer the big pieces, I leave the small pieces to them. But the best is to buy a new one. Unless it's too late. I liked your narration. 🧡
