小蚂蚁奇奇去它的好朋友花花家里玩，花花妈妈给它端来一种非常好吃的蜜露。

奇奇从没喝过这种蜜露，不禁好奇地问花花这是什么饮料呀？

花花带它来到自己住的花园里。原来，花花家族养了很多的蚜虫，蚜虫吃花园里的花草，而它们收集蚜虫排出的蜜露来吃。

蚜虫就是蚂蚁世界的奶牛呀，所以也叫“蚁牛”。

为了得到蜜露，蚂蚁们还需要保护“蚁牛”。

知道了怎么回事，小蚂蚁奇奇忽然觉得，蚂蚁可能不算是好的昆虫了。

The little ant and the “ant’s cow”

One day, the little ant Qiqi visited his good friend Huahua’s house, her mom give him a cup of drink, which is very tasty, just like honey.

Qiqi has never had such a good drink. He curiously asked Huahua, “What’s this?”

Huahua took him to the garden. Huahua’s family supports many aphides, which eat flowers and plants. They gather honey that aphides produce.

Aphides are like cows in ants’ world, so they are called “ant’s cow”.

To get honey, ants need to protect “ant’s cow”.

After knowing this, Qiqi suddenly felt that ants may not be a kind of beneficial insects.
