someone's crumb is someone's backload of supplies

i flicked an ant with my hand to realise that she lost her load of food in the event. i got a few crumbs from the remains of my breakfast and brushed them off my hand near the ant. she was still searching for her lost food. i took one lil dot of bread and followed the poor insect. till she climed on it, smelled it and then lifted it and proceeded as before.
