An Ant and a Dove: Once an ant was very thirsty (Story Writing)

An Ant and a Dove

 

In a bygone era, there resided a contented dove in the midst of a verdant woodland. The dove lived a blissful life, cherishing every moment of it. One fine day, while the dove was perched on a tree beside a river, it noticed an ant. The ant appeared to be severely parched and was struggling to drink water from the river. However, due to a sudden surge in the water, the ant was swept away by the waves. With each passing moment, the ant was carried further away from the bank and began to lose its strength. Eventually, the ant resigned to its fate, as it lost all hope of survival. The compassionate dove felt a pang of sympathy for the ant and decided to intervene.

 

Without wasting any time, the dove pondered upon a plan to rescue the ant. In no time, it came up with an idea and dropped a leaf in front of the ant. Seeing the leaf, a glimmer of hope dawned upon the ant, and it immediately climbed onto the leaf, which proved to be its savior. Overwhelmed with gratitude, the ant expressed its heartfelt thanks to the dove.

 

Days passed, and one day, while the ant was searching for food under the same tree, it noticed a hunter aiming his gun at the dove. The ant was determined to save the dove from the impending danger. Without any delay, it scurried towards the hunter and bit him on his right leg, causing him to tremble and miss his target. The dove flew away unscathed, and the ant's timely intervention saved its life.

 

Thus, the ant's gratitude towards the dove was repaid by its heroic action, as the dove's life was saved by the ant in return. This fable teaches us the lesson that a small act of kindness can lead to a ripple effect, and one good deed leads to another.

 

 

Or, An Ant and a Dove

In a dense thicket of a forest, there once resided a contented dove who passed her days in a state of felicity. One day, while the dove was perched upon a branch of a tree by a flowing river, she spied an ant. The ant appeared to be exceedingly parched and desperately in need of a drink of water. When the ant finally made it to the river, a sudden wave swept it away. Subsequently, the second wave carried it several feet away from the shore, rendering it completely helpless. Despite its best efforts, the ant was unable to make any progress towards the bank, exhausting all of its strength in the process. Drowning appeared to be its inevitable fate, and it had given up hope of survival. The dove took pity on the poor ant and determined to save its life. She decided, "I must take action to rescue this unfortunate creature." With this, the dove plucked a leaf from the tree and offered it to the ant. Upon seeing the leaf, the ant's hope for survival was rekindled. It gratefully crawled onto the leaf, ultimately saving its life. The ant was profoundly grateful to the dove.

 

On another occasion, the ant was scavenging for food beneath the very same tree where the dove had taken refuge. To its dismay, the ant observed a hunter aiming his gun directly at the dove. Unaware of the danger that lurked behind him, the dove remained oblivious to the peril it faced. In an effort to save the dove's life, the ant realized that it had to take swift action. Without hesitation, the ant crawled up the hunter's leg and bit him on his right leg. As a result, the hunter's hand shook and the bullet missed its intended target. Seizing the opportunity, the dove quickly flew away, narrowly escaping death. Thus, the dove's life was saved by the brave and selfless ant.

A Good Deed is Always Rewarded

Through the forest ran a clear bubbling stream. And under a blade of grass on the bank sat an ant. She felt very thirsty and bent over to take a drink, but as she did so she slipped and fell into the water. The strong current snatched her away, carrying her far off down the stream. As hard as she tried she could not manage to swim to the bank.

At that moment a dove flew by and seeing the struggling ant, took pity on her distress. She broke a branch from a nearby tree. And dropped it into the water. The ant did not delay but clambered nimbly on to the branch and at last reached the safety of the bank.

Not long after this, the ant was out for a stroll when she came upon the dove again. A hunter was just about to trap the bird. The ant saw it and realised the hunter's ill motive. At that time the ant remembered the great help of the dove. I have to do something for the dove. I could not let one die before my eyes who once saved my life" she said herself. So, she hurriedly got to the hunter and bit him severely. The target of the hunter was missed. Understanding everything, the dove flew away. After sometime the dove met the ant and expressed her gratitude to the ant. Since then the dove and the ant became good friends.

They realised that the friends of adversity are the real friends. Helping other selflessly never goes unrewarded. One who helps other selflessly in danger, Allah helps him in his danger any how, am where, any time.

The Ant and the Dove

Once an ant was very thirsty. It went to a river to drink some water. While it was drinking, a strong wave swept him away. He was about to drawn. The ant shouted for help. But its voice was too small to be heard. Luckily a dove was sitting in a tree that overhung the river. It saw the ant struggling to survive. So it quickly plucked a leaf from the tree and dropped it right in front of the ant. The ant climbed into the leaf and stayed on it. The leaf floated down the river and washed up on the bank of the river. Then the ant got down from the leaf. It was finally out of danger and could rest fora while. The ant was grateful to the dove for helping it. But couldn't show his gratitude because the leaf washed up further down the river from where the dove couldn't hear the ant saying thank you. So the ant started to go near the dove. The dove was sitting in the tree. As it came near the dove it saw that a hunter crept carefully up to the tree. His gun was pointed at the dove and when he was about to shoot, he was bitten in the leg by an ant. He cried out and missed his aim. This frightened the dove and immediately the dove flew away. In this way the ant saved the life of the dove. The ant was happy that he got the chance to help the dove in return.

সহায়ক ঘুঘু এবং কৃতজ্ঞ পিঁপড়া এক সময় সেখানে একটি ঘুঘু বাস করত। সুখেই দিন কাটছিল। একদিন তিনি নদীর ধারে একটি গাছে বসে থাকতে দেখেন একটি পিঁপড়া নদীতে পানি খাচ্ছে। তিনি যখন জল পান করছিলেন, তখন একটি ঢেউ তাকে ছিনিয়ে নিয়ে স্রোতের অনেক দূরে নিয়ে গেল। সে যতই চেষ্টা করুক, দাঙ্গা সাঁতরে ব্যাংকে যেতে পারত। ঘুঘু দরিদ্র প্রাণীর জন্য করুণা অনুভব করল। সে ভাবল তার পিঁপড়ার জন্য কিছু করা উচিত। তাই সে পাশের একটি গাছের ডাল ভেঙে পানিতে ফেলে দিল। পিঁপড়াটি আর দেরি না করে নিঃশব্দে শাখার দিকে ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়ল এবং অবশেষে ব্যাঙ্কের নিরাপত্তায় পৌঁছে গেল। এর কিছুক্ষণ পরে, বসন্তের এক সুন্দর দিনে ঘুঘুটি একটি গাছে বসে ছিল। তিনি সুরেলা কণ্ঠে গান গাইছিলেন। তার সুরেলা কণ্ঠের মাধ্যমে, তিনি তার প্রেমিকাকে আমন্ত্রণ জানিয়েছিলেন কারণ তিনি এত সুন্দর বসন্তের দিনে এত রোমান্টিক হয়েছিলেন। কিন্তু দুর্ভাগ্যবশত সে একজন শিকারীর নজরে পড়ে। শিকারী তাকে লক্ষ্য করে। এরই মধ্যে পিঁপড়া এসে তা লক্ষ্য করল। ঘুঘুর বড় সাহায্যের কথা মনে পড়ল তার। সে তাড়াহুড়ো করে কিন্তু কৌশলে শিকারীর কাছে গেল এবং তাকে মারাত্মকভাবে কামড় দিল। পিপীলিকা দেখে চিন্তিত হয়ে শিকারি এগিয়ে গেল। শিকারীর হঠাৎ নড়াচড়ায় একটা শব্দ হল। শব্দ শুনে ঘুঘুটি উড়ে গিয়ে মারা থেকে বাঁচতে পারে। পরে ঘুঘু পিঁপড়ার সাথে দেখা করে এবং তার (আ) প্রতি কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ করে। তারপর থেকে তারা ভালো বন্ধু হয়ে ওঠে। প্রকৃতপক্ষে, নিঃস্বার্থভাবে অন্যদের সাহায্য করা কখনোই পুরস্কারপ্রাপ্ত হয় না। যে অন্যদেরকে নিঃস্বার্থভাবে সাহায্য করে, সে কোন না কোনভাবে, কোথাও না কোথাও তাদের সাহায্য করে।
