24. There are four things on the earth that are small but very wise:
25. Ants are small and weak, but they save their food all summer;
26. badgers are small animals, but they make their homes in the rocks;
27. locusts have no king, but they are able to work together;
28. lizards are small enough to catch with your hands, but you can find them living in kings’ palaces.
29. There are three things that act important when they walk—really, there are four:
30. a lion—he is the warrior of the animals and runs from nothing,
31. a rooster walking proudly, a goat, and a king among his people.
