In our tradition, there is a belief that by offering sugar to the ants, one's adverse time is away. I feel this may be true. Do you have such belief by tradition? Please discuss.

I am not mocking your tradition, but this post is going to have my friends laughing very hard. My partner is named Ant, and if I keep him sweet life is very much less adverse, so although he is a human Ant, this would still be true, and I can see my friends turning up with sugar lumps for him for the next few weeks, oooops! I really do not like Ants in the house and I have encouraged them to move into next door's garden by putting down honey, so I suppose that was sort of giving the ants something sweet. If it may improve my luck, they may get some this year too.

Wow! This sugar is for the real ants, not your friend, named 'Ant'! If he is a human ant, instead of sugar, offer him chocolets / icecream. Thanks.

oh yes, he is a real, human Ant! His favourite treat is something called a cherry bakewell tart and as long as I have a supply of these I have him eating out of my hand :-) Thank you for the best response.

This is a religious work to offer sugar to ants regularly. Some people also offer wheat grains to pegions in the morning as a pious activity. Since religious / pious activities resolve bad times to good, this faith is thus obvious on offering sugar to ants. Thank you.

Your expression seems to be right. Thanks for response.
