THE DOVE AND THE ANT

An Ant, going to a river to drink, fell in, and was carried along in the stream. A Dove pitied her condition, and threw into the river a small bough, by means of which the Ant gained the shore. The Ant afterward, seeing a man with a fowling piece aiming at the Dove, stung him in the foot sharply, and made him miss his aim, and so saved the Dove’s life.

Moral of the story: ‘Little friends may prove great friends.’

(Aesops Fables, Aesop- ancient Greek storyteller 620 and 564 BC)

“You are a good servant. Because you have been trustworthy in a small matter, I am putting you in charge of ten towns.” Jesus
