| 125. The Ant And The Dove An Ant went to the bank of a river to qu ench its thirst, and, being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of being drowned. A Dove, sitting on a tree overhanging the water, plucked a leaf, and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Ant, climbing on to it, floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a bird catcher came and stood under the tree and laid his lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant, perceiving his design, st ung him in the foot. He suddenly threw down the twigs, and thereupon made the Dove take wing. The grateful heart will always find opportunities to show its gratitude. | 125. 蚂蚁和鸽子 一只蚂蚁到河边去喝水解渴，被河水一冲，飘走了，几乎快要溺死了。 有一只鸽子，坐在悬于水面的树上，摘下了一片叶子，掷落到河中靠近蚂蚁的地方。 蚂蚁爬到叶上，平安地飘到岸边来。 不久，来了一个捕鸟的人，站在树下，他放了有粘性的枝条，想因此捉住坐在枝干上的鸽子。 蚂蚁知道了他的诡计，就在他的脚上叮了一下。 他突然拋下了枝条，因此使得鸽子振翅逃走了。 只要有感激的心，总是可以随时报恩的。 |
