Tiny Ant And The Dove - Bed time stories

Once upon a time there lived a dove in a dense forest. He used to live in a banyan tree near the river. All the animals and birds also used to drank water from that river. One day a tiny ant came to the bank of that river to drink water. The river current seemed to be high that morning and ant suddenly slipped and fell into the water. The ant was being swept away by the stream. The ant tried its best to swim but in the force of water it was not able to swim. 


The dove saw from the branch of that banyan tree that ant is struggling. The dove dropped a dry leaf into the water, so that the ant could climb into it.  The ant climbed onto the leaf. The dove then carefully pulled the leaf out of the stream to the shore. The ant’s life was saved by the kind dove.

After a few days, a fierce hunter came to the forest. The hunter saw the beautiful dove on the tree and aimed to shoot his arrow at it. The ant, which was saved by the kindness of the dove, saw the hunter aiming at his savior. Before the hunter could release his arrow, the ant bit the hunter on the foot. The hunter shouted due to the pain from the ant’s bite.   The dove was alarmed by the noise created by the hunter and flew to a safer place.

Moral: Every good deed we do for others will  come back to us.
