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 diy
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.

What is the purpose of the text?


A To inform the readers about the lesson of the story.
B To describe the sequential events happened in the story above.
C To recite the story of how the dove and the ant rescue each other.

momina tea.

Once upon a time there was a water-bearer in India who had two large pots,
each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the
pots had a crack in it. and while the other pot was perfect and always
delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream
to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, the poor cracked
pot spoke to the water-bearer one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of
myself, and I want to apologize to you.” “Why?” asked the bearer. “What are
you ashamed of?” “I have been able to deliver only half my load because this
crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s
house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work and you don’t
get full value from your efforts.” the pot said. The water- bearer felt sony for
the old cracked pot. and in his compassion he said. “As we return to the
master’s house. I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”

The bearer said to the pot. “Did you notice that there were flowers only on
your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because of
your flaw. And I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of
the path, and every day while walking back from the stream, you’ve watered
them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to
decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are. he
would not have this beauty to grace his house.”

A A water-bearer and his master.

each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the
pots had a crack in it. and while the other pot was perfect and always
delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream
to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, the poor cracked
pot spoke to the water-bearer one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of
myself, and I want to apologize to you.” “Why?” asked the bearer. “What are
you ashamed of?” “I have been able to deliver only half my load because this
crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s
house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work and you don’t
get full value from your efforts.” the pot said. The water- bearer felt sony for
the old cracked pot. and in his compassion he said. “As we return to the
master’s house. I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”

The bearer said to the pot. “Did you notice that there were flowers only on
your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because of
your flaw. And I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of
the path, and every day while walking back from the stream, you’ve watered
them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to
decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he
would not have this beauty to grace his house.”

What is the message of the story?


A We have to minimize our ability for other people.
B Each of us has our own skill that can be used for others.
C Each of us has a unique flaw that makes us to be inferior.
D We have to see someone for what they are and look good in them.

groups. They are commonly known as Hawaiian. Strombolian. Vulcanian

highly fluid lava which flows quietly. This gradually builds up a shield
volcano. Strombolian eruptions are named after Stromboli. Vulcanian
eruption happens and brings magma which is more viscous. Vulcanian
explosions are usually larger and noisier than the Strombolian eruptions. A

During the semester holiday, my family and I went to the garden centre to
buy some plants and seeds for our garden. It was a sunny day when we went
there.

When we arrived, we had to find a place to park because, the car park was
packed full of cars. We managed to find a place to park eventually but it was
a tight squeeze and we had to be careful opening the car's door to avoid
banging the other cars. After that, we went into the store looking for some
seeds and buying some peas, carrot and lettuce packets. We then went to
look at the plants and mum chose a planter frill of flowers. Finally, we paid
for all our purchases at the checkout counter, before finding our car.
