Zさん："The other day I went on a picnic with my girlfriend. We went to a nice park and set up a blanket on the grass. It was good food and great company. Then out of nowhere, 10 ants climbed onto the blanket and headed for the food."
Aさん：「Oh no!」
Zさん："Right? But luckily an anteater showed up, and gobbled up the ants!"
Aさん：「So what did you do?」
Zさん："What do you think? I said 蟻が十。"
