The narrative explains termite dependence on ants for access, safety, and care for eggs, including underground hiding and root-feeding after hatching. A missing egg leads to the birth of Terry the Termite, who discovers the natural beauty and learns to thrive by drinking the plants’ juice daily.","Beyond the Pasturelands  \nAuthor: Yamam Khartash  \nIllustrator: Sara Wafeeq English  \nBeyond the Pasturelands  \nWritten by Yamam Khartash.  \nImages by Sara Wafeeq. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.

The termites drank from the tasty, juicy plants until they were full. This is why the termites are so thankful for the ants, day and night.  \nTermites are blind, and without the ants they wouldn’tbe able to reach the plants and quench their thirst.  \nThe amber ants protect termites from the ladybugs that surround them everywhere in the pasture.  \nTermite wings are short and they can’t fly and escape the ladybugs when the ladybugs attack. That’s why the termites are so thankful for the ants, day and night.  \nThe ants are also responsible for the termites’ eggs too. The ants carry them for the termites and hide them underground. When the eggs hatch, they lead them to feed on the roots of the juicy plants. That’s why the termites are so thankful for the ants, day and night.  \nOne day, while the ants were carrying the eggs underground, one of the eggs fell and rolled over andover, away and away. The ants didn’t notice the missing egg and went along their way. The egg ended up on a small leaf and hatched after a few days.  \nA little insect came out. It was Terry the Termite. She looked around and she was totally astounded by the natural beauty around her. She drank from the juicy plants till she quenched her thirst. She liked the taste of the juice and drank it every day. Terry grew bigger and bigger.","cbCaigmNkzzrb3I0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigmNkzzrb3I0","pdf",1087869,25,"English","en",105,"# Beyond the Pasturelands\n## Ants guide and protect termites\n## Eggs hidden underground and Terry hatches","[{\"question\":\"How do amber ants help the termites each day?\",\"answer\":\"Amber ants lead termites to green plants and the termites drink until they are full.
