Narrative Text
One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a
moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a
blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally
into the water.
She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing
that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and
dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant
moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry
ground.
Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his
net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way. Guessing what he should
do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped
his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.
The morality: One good turn deserves another.
