스크랩 개미와 비둘기

[내일사랑]

An ant, walking by the river one day, said to himself,
"How nice and cool this water looks! I must drink some of it."
But as he began to drink, his foot slipped, and he fell in.
:Oh, somebody please help me, or I shall be drowned!" cried he.
A dove sitting in a tree that overhung the river heard him, and threw him a leaf.
"climb upon the leaf." said she,
"and you will float ashore."
T he ant climbed upon the leaf, and the wind blew it to the shore,
and he steeped upon dry land again.
"Good bye, kind Dove."
said he, as he ran home.
"you have saved my life, and I wish I could do something for you."
"Good bye" said the Dove,
"be careful not to fall in again."

A few days after this, when the Dove was busy buildingher nest,
the Ant saw a man just raising his gun to shoot her.
He ran quickly, and bit the man's the foot so hard, that he crid,
"Oh! oh!" and droped his gun.
This startled the Dove, and she flew away.
The man picked up his gun, the Dove came back to her nest.
"Thank you, my little friend." she said,
"You have saved my life."

and the little Ant jumped for joy, to think he had been able to help the kind Dove.
