Once upon a time, there was a small ant and it lived in a cave. It was very active and brave. One day, it went to collect some food for the winter season.
The ant went near the river to drink some water. However, the ant fell into the river. The ant shouted “Help me! Help me! Please help me!”
A bird saw what happened. The bird thought, “How can I help the ant”? Then, the bird picked a leaf and threw it into the water. The ant quickly climbed onto the leaf. After that, the ant thanked the bird for saving its life. Then, the ant went to its cave. After a few days, the ant went to the jungle.
There, it saw a hunter. He was hunting a bird. The ant thought, this bird helped me. Now, I must help the bird. The ant went near the hunter and bit the hunter’s leg hard. The hunter shouted loudly.
The bird flew away quickly. The ant too went home quickly.
Moral: Let’s help others whenever possible.
