An ant went to the river to get a drink. The water rushed along so fast that he
was washed off the bank into the river.
"I shall drown!" he cried. "Help! Help! Help!" but his voice was so tiny that it
could not be heard.
A dove was sitting on a tree that overhung the water. She saw the ant
struggling, and quickly nipped off a leaf and let it fall into the water. The ant climbed
upon it and floated down the river until the leaf was washed upon the bank of the
stream.
The ant called out in its tiny voice, "Thank you, kind dove, you have saved my
life," but of course the dove could not hear him.
Several days after this, the dove was again sitting on a tree. A hunter crept
carefully up to the tree. His gun was pointed at the dove and he was about to shoot,
when he was bitten in the leg by an ant.
He cried out with pain and dropped his gun. This frightened the dove and she
flew away.
"Thank you, kind ant," cooed the dove, and the ant heard and was glad.
25. What did the dove do when he saw the ant almost drowning?
Green, or common, iguanas are among the largest lizards in the Americas, averaging
around 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and weighing about 11 pounds (5 kilograms).
They are also among the most popular reptile pets in the United States, despite being quite
difficult to care for properly. In fact, most captive iguanas die within the first year, and
many are either turned loose by their owners or given to reptile rescue groups.
The green iguana’s extensive range comprises the rain forests of northern Mexico, Central
America, the Caribbean Islands, and southern Brazil. They spend most of their lives in the
canopy, descending only infrequently to mate, lay eggs, or change trees.
Primarily herbivores, iguanas are active during the day, feeding on leaves, flowers, and
fruit. They generally live near water and are excellent swimmers. If threatened, they will
leap from a branch, often from great heights, and escape with a splash to the water below.
They are also tough enough to land on solid ground from as high as 40 feet (12 meters)
and survive. Resting time is usually from afternoon till night.
Congklak is an Indonesian traditional game played by two players. The instruments to play
the game are congklak board and a number of small shells.
The board has 7 or 9 holes with a bigger hole as a "store house" in each side for each
player. Before the game begins, 7 or 9 shells are put into each small hole.
A Player plays the game by taking all the shells from a small hole in his/her side.
Move clockwise while dropping a shell in each hole, except the opponent's store house. Take
the all of the shells from a hole where the last shell is dropped and continue to move. The
move stops when the last shell is dropped into an empty hole and it is the other player's turn.
The winner of this game is the player with the more shell in the "store house".
Once upon a time lived a wise and rich king in his palace near a small village. The king did
anything to help the villagers make their living, however made the villagers lazy.
One day, he got up early in the morning and told his soldier to put big stone and a bag of some
gold money under it in the middle of the road. Then he waited what would happen.
A poor man came along riding a cow. He grumbled because the stone lay in his path, Then the
farmer came. He complained too. Everyone who came across the stone were grumbling and
complaining about it because it was blocking their way. However no one tried to move it, even
touched it.
“It is almost dark came a boy passed the road. somebody may stumble over this stone at night
and perhaps will be badly hurt. I’ll remove it off away,“ said the boy. So, he stugged the stone. It was
so hard because it was very heavy. He pulled and pushed it all the way and finally the stone was
successfully removed.
The boy was so surprised to find a bag under the stone. Upon the bag was written: “THIS
GOLD BELONGS TO THE ONE WHO MOVES THE STONE”. Finally the boy went home happily and the
king, relieved, went back to his palace. He was glad that not all of the villagers were lazy.

uncontrolled ideas and feelings come out to form pictures known as dreams.

the other hand, a good night’ sleep generally makes us happier in the morning. These moods
will affect people’s performance through the day. Besides affecting people’s moods, dreams
also help people to escape from the real world.

people’s dream. In this way, people’s feeling and their performance can be manipulated.
