Summary
This quote suggests that if ants were capable of communication and had a language, they would perceive their anthill as something made by them, an artifact. They would also refer to the brick wall nearby as an object, considering anything that is not created by ants as separate from their own creation. This quote highlights the perspective of ants and how it might differ from human perceptions of what constitutes as man-made or natural.
