The Dove and The Ant

The Dove and The Ant

One day an ant stopped at a river bank to
drink some water.

He got too close. The river swept him in. He was
about to drown, when a dove spotted him.

The dove tore off a leaf and dropped it into the
river, right next to the ant.

The ant climbed onto the leaf and survived. “Thank
you, dove! I will always remember what you did
for me,” he said.

One day the ant saw a man. He was pointing his
gun at the dove,who had saved the ant’s life. The
man was going to pull the trigger and the ant
racked his brains to think of something to save
the bird.

At the very last moment the ant had an idea. He
bit the man’s leg. “Ouch!” the man yelled and
missed the dove.

The dove flew off and waved a “thank you” to the
ant for saving his life.

Moral value : One good turn deserves another.
