The Ant and the Dove 
  An Ant went to the river to quench his thirst, but the rush of the water carried him away and the Ant was now struggling to save his life. A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water, seeing him, immediately took a tree branch, and let it fall close to the Ant, so that he could climb on it. The Ant was thus saved from drowning.
  A few days later, a hunter came and pointed the gun at the Dove who was sitting in the same tree. The Ant happened to be nearby and, perceiving the hunter’s intentions, stung him in the foot. The pain made the hunter miss his aim, while the shot startled the Dove and made her fly away.
What is the moral?

• Always speak the truth
• If you help others, they may help you in return
• Always love yourself first
