The Dove and the Ant.

An Ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and, beingcarried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of beingdrowned. A Dove, sitting on a tree overhanging the water, plucked aleaf, and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Ant, climbing onto it, floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a bird catchercame close and stood under the tree, and laid his lime-twigs for theDove, which sat in the branches. The Ant, perceiving his design, stunghim in the foot. He suddenly threw down the twigs, and thereupon madethe Dove take wing.

The grateful heart will always find opportunities to show its gratitude.
