漂浮的蚁球 。从早上天就开始下雨，一直到黄昏的时候雨都没有停过。又过了一会儿，洪水最终撕开了江堤，一个个小院子连成了一片汪洋。清晨，受灾的人们三三两两在堤上，凝望着水中的家园。忽然，有人惊呼：看，那是什么？众人随着这一声惊叫向水中望去，只见一个黑点正顺着波浪漂过来，一沉一浮，像一个人！有人嗖地跳下水去，很快就靠近了黑点，但见他只停了一下，掉头回游，很快上了岸。一个蚁球。那人说。蚁球？人们不解。说话间蚁球正漂过来，越来越近。人们终于看清楚了。一个小足球大的蚁球！黑黑乎乎的蚂蚁密匝匝地紧紧抱在一起。风起波涌，蚁球漂流中不断有小团蚂蚁被浪头打开，像铁器上的油漆片剥离开去。人们看得惊心动魄。蚁球靠岸了。蚁球一层层散开，像打开的登陆艇。蚁群迅速而秩序井然地一排排冲上堤岸，胜利登陆了。岸边水中仍留下了不小的一团蚁球，那是勇敢的牺牲者，它们再也爬不上来了，但它们的尸体，仍然紧紧抱在一起。大道理：要想成功，就必须有一个好的人际圈子，要知道仅凭一个人的能力是很难完成自己的事业的。只要有人愿意帮你，不断地给你提供各种资源，你才能有更多的成功机会。小故事大道理全集
