An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst. Being carried away by the rush of the stream, it was to the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a bird catcher came and stood under the tree, and laid his limtwigs for the dove, which sat in the branches. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the bird catcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the dove fly away.
One good turn deserves another.
The only reward of virtue is virtue; The only way to have a friend is to be one.
——Ralph Waldo Emerson
