So, I was in my room and saw a group of ten ants just running frantically. I felt bad, so I made a small house for them out of a cardboard box.
This technically makes me their landlord and they are my………. Tenants.
The joke here is a play on words involving the term “tenants,” which normally refers to people who rent a place to live. The humor comes from the storyteller observing ten ants (which sounds like “tenants”) and then building them a house, which leads to a pun where the ants are humorously referred to as “tenants” in the literal sense of living in a property he owns. The joke relies on the homophonic relationship between the words “ten ants” and “tenants,” creating a double meaning that results in a humorous twist.
