too strong she was carried away.
-Ant: someone please help me. Help me please,
someone help me.

ant was struggling for life in the water. The dove felt

And he decided to help her. He said to ant…
-Ant: help me…please help me…
-He said to the ant…
-Dove: don´t worry my friend, I will save you.
-The dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it
into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved
towards the leaf and climbed up there. And the ant
reached to the shore safely. The thankful ant said…
Ant: I will always be grateful to you for saving my life.
-Few weeks later the ant saw a bad hunter
with the gun. The hunter was targeting at
the dove sitting on the tree. Guessing what he
was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on
the heel.
-Hunter: “ouch! You pathetic ant, what have
you done”
-The ant walked away happily as she was
able to help the dove in return.
