There once lived a king, who loved to hunt. He would bring his bow and arrow into the forest to hunt for animals. The king would walk deep into the forest and when he saw an animal, he would pull back on his bow and sent an arrow flying towards the animal.
The king would laugh and walk off to find the next animal. The king came to a river where he saw a deer having a drink. He hid behind a bush, readying his arrow. The deer saw the king and it spoke, "Spare me, great king. I shall be forever grateful." The king laughed at the deer. The king wanted the deer for himself. He pulled on his bow. As the king did that, he tripped on a stone, slipped and fell into the river. The king struggled in the water and called for help.

The scorching sun stood high as a thirsty ant was crawling along the riverbank. He had been searching for food all morning and decided to have a drink from the river. As the tiny ant made his way down, he slipped and fell into the water. He wailed frantically, "Someone, please save me or I'll drown!"
Fortunately, a dove perching on a tree branch above heard his cries and immediately went to his rescue. Using her beak, the dove plucked a leaf and dropped it nearby. The ant struggled but eventually managed to climb onto the leaf and floated ashore safely.
"How can I ever repay your kindness for saving my life, dear dove?" the ant cried out thankfully.
Moments later, a hunter hiding among the tall trees was about to trap the dove. Seeing that the hunter was about to cast the net, the sharp ant raced towards him and bit his leg. The hunter screamed in pain while the dove took off in a flurry. She gave a loud coo to thank the little ant for his act of bravery.
