The Ant and Dove
Adapted from teacherfunfiles.blogspot.com
One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After
walking around for some time, she came to a spring. To
reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While
making her way up, she slept and fell into the water.
She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had
not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove
quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it into the water near
the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and
climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.
Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net
towards the dove, hoping to trap it.
Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit
him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net.
The dove was quick to fly away to safety.
