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.

Moral:
If we do good unto others, they will repay it with good deeds also.

Reflection:
God tells us to love our neighbor and the best way to show it is by helping them. In life, we meet a lot of people and when we do good things to them, it will make a mark in their life an din return they will repay you with kindness too. We should remember that what we do unto others, they will also do it to you.
