The Ant and The Dove
One day, an ant came to the bank of a river to drink some water. While trying to drink water from the river, she slipped and fell into the river. The force of the river was sweeping the ant away. Just then, a dove spotted the struggling ant. The dove quickly plucked a leaf and threw it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant climbed onto it and floated back to the shore safely. On reaching back to the bank of the river, the ant thanked the dove for saving his life.
A few days later, the ant saw a hunter aiming his gun at the dove sitting on a tree. Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on his heel. The hunter missed his aim. The dove noticed it and flew away quickly.
The ant walked away happily as she was able to help the dove in return.
Moral of the Ant and the Dove story
