Daniel: Hurry up! Hurry up! What lovely caterpillars are over there!
May: I said you are sure to like them. There is the Grand Parade Of Ants Carnival in a few minutes in the square. You will experience a dream of fantasy.
Daniel: What’s that?
May: All kinds of insects dress themselves up. They drive straight their own Flower Cars along the Parade Avenue of Ants Kingdom.
Daniel: That’s splendid. Can you take three pictures of me with them?

Daniel: Cut it out. Look at my smile, and it seems like the flowers in the spring. Right?
May: Gross!
Daniel: Hurry up! The smile is frozen on my face.
