 One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it  36  several obstacles in its path.

It was only a small insect, lacking in  41  yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  42  this ant, like the other two-legged creatures  43  on the earth, also shares human failings.

   After some time the ant  44  reached its destination — a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its  45  home. It was there that the ant met its  46  . How could that large feather possibly  47  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this  48  and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just gave up the  49  and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through  50  it began its journey and in the end the feather was  51  more than a burden. Isn’t our  52  like that?
