The ant and the dove

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 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 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 that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove hoping
to trap it. 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.
