The Ant and the Dove

An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laid his lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the birdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dove take wing. 

Lesson: "One good turn deserves another."

Reflection: This fable made me smile :) May this be an inspiration and a story to be followed not just by little kids but by everyone. When someone does something good to you, always try to pay back not through money but by doing good thins to them. Just like the ant, do not be afraid that you're too weak or not good enough because as Mad Hatter said, "Everything is possible if you believe they are"
