The Dove and The Ant by Aesop

One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, she came to
a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she
slipped and fell into the water.
She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was
in trouble, the dove quickly plucked a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The
ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up onto it. Soon, the leaf drifted to dry ground, and the ant
jumped out. She was safe at last.
Just at that time, a hunter nearby was about to throw his net over the dove, hoping to trap it.
Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter
dropped his net. The dove was quick to fly away to safety.

The Lion & the Mouse by Aesop

A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Mouse came upon him
unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion's nose. Roused from his
nap, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her.
"Spare me!" begged the poor Mouse. "Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you."
The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and
finally let the Mouse go.
Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net.
Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Mouse knew the voice and
quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she
gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free.
"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see that even a Mouse can
help a Lion."
