Once during the scorching summer, an ant was very thirsty. In search of water, she reached the bank of a river.

To drink water from the river, she climbed a small rock, but she slipped and fell into the river. Due to the strong current, she started being swept away.

Nearby, a pigeon was sitting on a tree. He saw the ant falling into the river. The pigeon quickly broke a leaf and threw it near the ant in the river. The ant climbed onto the leaf. After a while, the leaf reached the bank, and the ant got off onto the dry ground. She looked towards the tree and thanked the pigeon.

In the evening of the same day, a hunter came with a net to catch the pigeon.
