Cicero held still to look at the new arrival when he suddenly heard Burke's voice, but the ants wouldn't leave him alone. He yelped again as he tried to shake them off, but it seemed that Burke was right and they wouldn't leave him alone. Cicero had not considered washing the ants off, but it made sense; he didn't like being held underwater, so doubtlessly neither did his vicious toys.

Quickly, the pup galloped over to the water and crashed into it with a large splash. Luckily the ants had not yet gotten to his face, but Cicero rolled around in the water anyway to make sure they were all gone, also the ones that might be on his head.

When he finished rolling in the water, however, his paws still hurt from the ant bites. Cicero frowned and looked at Burke as he said, "Why is Cicero still ouch?", and he waited for Burke to explain this new mystery in life he had found. The ants were gone, after all, he couldn't see them anymore... So why were they still hurting him?
