The Ant and the Dove:
On his way home, an ant saw a sparkling fountain. He crawled on to its wall to take a closer look.
Suddenly he slipped and fell into the water. He cried and waved his legs in the air.
“Help! can’t swim,” he shouted in pain.
At that time luckily a pigeon was flying over the fountain. It saw the ant crying for help. The pigeon lifted ant by its beak and helped it out. Thus the pigeon became the life saviour of the ant.
