An ant was drinking at a river. Suddenly he slipped[2], and fell into the water.

A dove took pity on[3] him. She threw a small branch[4] into the river. The ant seized[5] the bough[6], and swam back to the shore[7].

A few days later, the ant saw a hunter aiming a gun at[8] the dove. He bit[9] the man in the foot sharply.

The man missed the shot, and the dove's life was saved.

The dove felt very grateful. She made good friends with the ant.

鸽子和蚂蚁

一只蚂蚁到河边饮水。突然，他滑了一下，掉进了河里。

一只鸽子对他产生了同情。她往河里扔下一小段树枝。蚂蚁抓住树枝，游回了岸边。

几天后，蚂蚁看见一个猎人正在拿枪瞄准鸽子。他就狠狠地朝他脚上咬了一口。

猎人没有打中，鸽子的生命得到了挽救。

鸽子充满了感激。她和蚂蚁成了好朋友。
