One day a little ant was walking along the bank of a stream.

His foot slipped and he fell into the water. “Oh, help, help!” cried the ant.

A dove was sitting on a branch of a tree over the stream and heard his cry of help.

“Oh, poor ant!” said the dove. “I will help the ant.”

The dove pulled off a leaf and dropped it near the ant. “Here is a leaf. Climb on it,” said the dove.

The ant climbed on it at once and floated to the bank.

A few days after this a hunter found the dove and was going to shoot her.

Just then the ant passed by and said to himself, “this time I must help the dove.”

The ant ran to the hunter and bit his foot hard.

The hunter sprang up and missed to shoot the dove.

The dove said to the ant, “thank you very much, my little friend. You have saved my life.”

The ant said, " we have helped each other ".



一天，一只小蚂蚁正沿着一小溪走路。

他脚下一滑，掉到了水里。“啊，救命，救命！”他大喊。

一只鸽子正坐在溪水上面一棵树的树枝上。他听到了蚂蚁的喊叫。

“哦，可怜的蚂蚁。”他说道，“我得救它。”

鸽子折下了树枝，把它丢到蚂蚁旁边，说道：“这是树枝，你爬到上面去吧。”

蚂蚁马上爬到了树枝上，并漂到了岸边。

几天后，一位猎人发现了鸽子，并准备拿枪打它。

正在这时，打这经过的蚂蚁对自己说道：“这一次，我可要救一救鸽子啦。”

蚂蚁扑向猎人，并发狠地咬他的脚。

猎人跳了起来，结果没打着鸽子。

鸽子对蚂蚁说道：“真谢谢你啦，小伙伴，你可救了我的命哟。”

蚂蚁说道： 我这叫互相帮助嘛。



寓意：



One good turn deserves another！
