…Jane calmed down and thanked him very nicely.
Though eternally grateful to the anteater for it’s efforts, Jane gave it a one-way ticket to some friends whose ant problem is more extensive.
The Anteater belongs in the sub-order Vermilingua – which means wormtongue!

Enchanting, especially Jane’s initial response to the block twins suggestion I’m especially intrigued by the name Vermilingua. How cool is that?
Jane was temporarily bereft of her dignity, but she could see that the anteater plan actually worked! The name is very cool, and it fits, doesn’t it!
Oh thank you for this delightful start to my day! You and the Hittys frequently restore child-like wonder to a very somber world.
You are welcome! When I find silliness in our Hitty cupboard it seems a shame not to share it!
yes! That’s it. Childlike wonder. Thank you Quimper Hitty ❤
You are welcome! We are so happy that Hitty friends share our fun!
A friend in need is a friend indeed 😀 Bravo, Anteater!
A long, sticky-tongued friend indeed! Thanks, twins!
I think I actually caught myself giggling with delight when I viewed this story. Talk about the element of surprise…no one does it like you and the twins. Whoever made that anteater is so talented. Just loved it. I don’t know how the twins can part with it. Maybe they will hide it like they have been know to do with other critters.
I’ve been trying to find the story with the twins and the alligator…can you direct me?
I made the anteater, for a good friend who has a bad ant problem! Thanks for the compliments!! The Crocodile stories are here: https://quimperhitty.com/tag/crocodile/ be sure to start at the bottom of the list, the first episode is February 4, 2016!
kitty is hiding under the table, maybe a little intimidated the vermilingua? love that new (to me) word. Seems it is good weather for the ants – spiders too.
Indeed the kitty has a very skeptical look on her face, but she is not giving up her mat in front of the woodstove, even for a wormtongue!
Amazing!!! Only the block twins could come up with such a novel solution to the pest problem. This made me laugh out loud!!! So creative!!
I am glad the twins made you laugh – it seems to be a byproduct of many of their adventures!!
forgot to add that Janes “lack of enthusism” was perfect!! and hilarious!!
Jane, oh, Jane – the things she has to put up with! I believe she was obliged to fortify herself afterword with a little drop of something in her tea!
