NAME:
Read:
An ant went to the riverbank to drink water and, being dragged by the strong current, was about to drown.
A dove that was in a tree over the water, plucked a leaf and let it fall into the current near it. The ant climbed the leaf and floated safely to the bank.
A short time later, a bird hunter came under the tree and prepared to place sticks of mistletoe near the dove, which rested on the branches oblivious to the danger.
The ant, realizing his intention, gave him a sting in the foot. He suddenly dropped his trap and this gave the dove a chance to fly away safely.
Those who are grateful from the heart will always find opportunities to show their gratitude.
