The ant and the dove

One day, an ant went to the stream(小溪) to get a drink, but he fell into the water.

"Help! I can't swim!" A friendly dove heard him.

"It's okay! I'll help you!" she said.

She picked up a leaf and dropped it into the water near the ant. He got on it. Then he floated back to land. Now he was safe!

"Thanks! I almost drowned!" he said.

"We should help each other when we can!" she said.

"I'll never forget this." he promised.

Later, a hunter came into the forest. He wanted to catch and eat the dove for dinner.

"The dove saved my life. Now I must help her!" the ant thought. So he bit(咬) the hunter's foot.

"Ouch!" the hunter cried loudly. Just in time, the dove heard the noise and flew away.

"That was kind of you," she called to the ant. "Thanks!"

"One good turn deserves another!" the ant called back.
