Ant statues

Jim was a sculptor; one day he wanted to prove his skills and decided to enter competitions. He found one where a millionaire has asked people to build a statue of an ant with two conditions: the ant should have toes and it should be as tall as possible. Jim spent some time planning, creating prototypes and eventually narrowed it down to two entries when suddenly the millionaire has bankrupted. The millionaire was left with just a dairy farm, so the reward for winning the competition was changed to a lifetime supply of milk from that place. Hearing that, Jim decided to participate with the smaller of his two statues of ants with toes. — That will lower your chances to win, why on earth would you do that? - asked his friend. — I just realised it. I… - Jim hesitated - …lack toes in taller ant.
