Question

Madam: I’m thinking about getting a pet. Can you give me some advice?

Vet: How much time can you devote to looking after your pet?

Madam: I’m really busy, so I can’t feed a dog. I don’t have time to walk it every day.

Vet: You are right.

Madam: Actually, I don’t want a pet with long hair, like a cat or a dog. I don’t want a pet that could be dangerous, either, like a spider or a snake.

Vet: How about ants? They are easy to look after. Come here and have a look. You only need to put the ants into a glass box. The box is filled with special soil, so you needn’t feed them. The most interesting part is that you can watch the ants dig roads in the soil.

Madam: It sounds good. How many ants should I get at least? How long can they live?

Vet: Eight at least. They can live three to six months.

Madam: Thanks a lot. I will try to find out more information on the Internet and come here next week.

Vet: That’s fine.
