Once upon a time, a clear river flowed through a beautiful green field.
An ant lived beside the stream. One day, he went to the river to drink some water.
As he leaned over the edge, he slipped and fell into the rushing water.
The poor ant struggled desperately to stay afloat.
A dove sitting in a nearby tree saw what was happening.
Feeling sorry for the little ant, the dove quickly picked a leaf and dropped it into the river.
The ant climbed onto the leaf and safely reached the riverbank.
A few days later, the ant saw a hunter hiding behind a tree, aiming his bow at the dove.
The ant knew he had to help his friend.
He quickly crawled over and bit the hunter’s foot.
The hunter cried out in pain, causing him to miss his shot.
The dove heard the noise and flew away safely.
The ant smiled, knowing that a small act of kindness had come back to him when he needed it most.
Moral: A good deed is never wasted. Even the smallest creature can make a big difference.
