TO SOLVE.
A Dove saw an Ant fall into a brook. The Ant struggled in vain
to reach the bank, and in pity, the Dove dropped a blade of
straw close beside it. Clinging to the straw like a shipwrecked
sailor to a broken spar, the Ant floated safely to shore.
Soon after, the Ant saw a man getting ready to kill the Dove
with a stone. But just as he cast the stone, the Ant stung him
in the heel, so that the pain made him miss his aim, and the
startled Dove flew to safety in a distant wood.
