4 courageous ants went on a walk in a straight line. On 1st April, 2014; the ants met a lion on the way and later an elephant who was going towards the lion...
After the ants saw the Elephant, the one at the third place said that there are two ants ahead of her which seemed right but later, she also said that there were two ants behind her. Why did she say so???

She is afraid of the lion and elephant , thus she turned , and the two ants that was infront is now behind her.

The question says that the ants are courageous...so they are neither scared of the lion nor the elephant...
