I grabbed her
and dragged her down there,

1:25:02
just crying and carrying on.
1:25:05
Anyway, my mama was trying
to calm me down, so she said,

1:25:09
"Wait, wait. They're not
finished, not by a long shot."

1:25:13
And we waited and waited,
and sure enough,

1:25:16
those little black specks
started scurrying everywhere,

1:25:22
just working hard
to build their home back.

1:25:26
And I said, "Why did they do it?
I'd just give up.

1:25:28
I mean, it's hopeless."
1:25:31
And my mama said, "Yeah,
if there was just one ant.

1:25:35
"But there's lots of ants
down there.

1:25:37
"They're all relatives.
1:25:40
They're family,
just like we are."

1:25:43
Well, that's
what families are for.

1:25:46
That's why
they invented families...

1:25:48
so "hopeless"
didn't get the last word.

1:25:52
So if ants can do it,
I figure we can do it.

1:25:59
You know, my Birdee has a lot
more strength than she knows.

1:26:05
And... one of these days,
she's going to realize that.

1:26:14
- I love you, Grandma.
- Oh... oh, honey. Honey.

1:26:21
My cup runneth over.
1:26:31
Say, haven't you got a birthday
comin' up pretty soon?

1:26:35
Want to tell Grandma
what you wish for?

1:26:38
- No?
- No.

1:26:39
No?
1:26:40
Well, never mind.
I'll figure that out.

1:26:44
I have my magic ways.
1:26:49
- Good night, honey.
- Good night.
