The Ant and the Dove story
There was a big banyan tree. A dove lived on it. One hot day, the ants were looking for some water. After some time he came near a spring. She made her way up the grass, but she slipped and fell into the water.
In the meantime, Dove saw an ant flowing in the water of the spring. She was scrambling to get closer to the shore. The pigeon took great pity on this ant. He immediately plucked a leaf and dropped it in water near the ant. The ant came to the shore with the help of the leaf and the ant jumped out. She was safe at last.
Not long after, Nearby a hunter was going to throw his net over the pigeon hoping to trap him. Wondering what he was going to do, the ant quickly bit his heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net.
Dove took the alarm and, flew away.
Moral of the story: The one who does good always gets good. So we should keep doing good to others.
