The Ant and the Dove

-

 Author: Aesop


A Dove observed an Ant plunge into a brook. The Dove dropped a blade of straw next to the struggling Ant after seeing how hard it was trying to reach the bank. The Ant floated safely to land by holding on to the straw like a shipwrecked mariner does to a broken spar.

The Ant then observed a man getting ready to throw a stone at the Dove. The Dove was startled and flew to safety in a nearby wood as a result of the Ant stinging him in the heel as he prepared to cast the stone.

Moral

Never waste a good deed.
