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:
In real life we believe that if you did good to others you will be treated good as well. It is a give and take relationship wherein if you give or do good things unto others you will always receive
goodness too. And it doesn't matter who you are in doing great things as long as you are determined to do it. Just like me, there are times that I did great things to other people, and guess what? I always take goodness from them!
