However, she slipped and fell into the river. A dove sitting on a branch of a tree saw the ant falling into the river. The bird quickly plucked a leaf and dropped it into the river near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed onto it. Soon, the leaf drifted to dry ground, and the ant jumped out.
She looked up to the tree and thanked the dove. Later, the same day, a bird catcher nearby was about to throw his net over the dove hoping to trap it. The ant saw him and guessed what he was about to do. The dove was not aware about the bird catcher. Acting quick, the ant bit the man on his foot. Feeling the pain, the bird catcher dropped his net and let out a light scream. The dove noticed it and quickly flew away from danger.
Moral: If you do good to others, the gesture would be returned to you.
