The ant and the dove
One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the water.
She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked a leaf and dropped it into the water near the strug- gling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up onto it. Soon, the leaf drifted to dry ground, and the ant jumped out of it. She was safe at last.
Just at that time, a hunter was about to throw his net over the dove, hoping to trap it.
Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dripped his net. The dove quickly flew away.
Moral: one good turn begets another.
مورچه و کبوتر
در یک روز گرم مورچه ای به دنبال کمی آب بود. بعد از کمی راه رفتن در آن اطراف به سرچشمه ای .رسید برای اینکه بتواند به سرچشمه برسد مجبور بود از لبه علف بالا برود همانطور که داشت از علف بالا می رفت، سر خورد و به داخل آب افتاد
اگر کبوتری که در نزدیکی آنجا روی درختی نشسته بود مورچه را ندیده بود. او حتماً غرق میشد کبوتر که دید مورچه به دردسر افتاده است فوراً برگی از درخت کند و آن را داخل آب کنار مورچه در حال غرق شدن انداخت مورچه به طرف برگ شنا کرد و از آن بالا رفت. طولی نکشید که برگ به خشکی رسید و مورچه از آن بیرون آمد. او بالاخره نجات پیدا کرده بود.
.
. در همان لحظه سر و کله شکارچی پیدا شد و نزدیک بود که تورش را روی سر کبوتر بیندازد و او را به دام اندازد
مورچه که حدس زده بود خیلی سریع پاشنه پای شکارچی را گاز گرفت. شکارچی
از درد تور را به زمین انداخت و کبوتر فوراً پرواز کرد.. نکته اخلاقی از هر دستی بدی از همان دست پس میگیری.
‘Hmmm, what can I paint?’ she thought.
‘Hmmm, what can I paint?’ she thought.
She looked around and saw a duck on the pond.
‘I know! I’ll paint a duck!’
So she did. Suddenly, the duck flew off the paper and onto the pond.
‘Wow!’ she said. ‘A magic paintbrush!’
Rose was a very kind girl and she painted pictures for everyone in her village.
She painted a cow for the farmer, pencils for the teacher and toys for all the children.
The king heard about the magic paintbrush and sent a soldier to find Rose.
‘Come with me,’ said the soldier. ‘The king wants you to paint some money for him.’
‘But he’s already rich,’ said Rose.
‘I only paint to help poor people.’
But the nasty soldier took Rose to the king.
‘Paint me a tree with lots of money on it,’ he shouted.
Rose was brave and said, ‘No!’
So the king sent her to prison.
But Rose painted a key for the door and a horse to help her escape.
The king chased after her.
So she painted a big hole, and splat!
The king fell in.
Today, Rose only uses her magic paintbrush to help people who really, really need help.
