解馋小零食

In this episode, you can notice the simple way to interact while hearing someone telling a story, using “然后呢？”. In this case, "然后呢？" means "and then?".  

今天我到外面走走，没想到发现了一大堆蚂蚁正在搬一只死了的虫子。
它们有的拉着脚，有的拉着头，还有的拖着身子 ，
几乎把整个虫子都围住了。可是虫子却一点儿也不动 。
不过，蚂蚁们也没有放弃，依然竭尽全力地拉着。 
最后在蚂蚁们坚持不懈的努力下，终于把虫子拖回了家。
蚂蚁这种坚持不懈的精神值得我们学习吧?
