AN ANT AND A DOVE

 An ant was feeling very thirsty. So, the ant went to the nearby stream to drink some water. All of a sudden, a wave washed the ant to the bank and carried it away into the stream. Then a dove was sitting on a tree beside the stream. So the dove saw the helpless ant. The dove took a wet leaf from the branch and dropped it into the water.

The ant climbed onto the leaf. It floated back safely to the bank. Shortly afterward, there appeared a bird-catcher. The dove drew his attention. He fixed his arrow toward the bird. The ant understood the bird catcher’s intention. He stung the bird-catcher on his foot. The bird-catcher shouted out in pain. He threw down the bow. The dove was alarmed and flew away.
