The Ant and The Dove
The Ant and The Dove
One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around
for a moment, 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
unintentionally into the water.
She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her.
Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from
a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling
ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it
carried her safely to dry ground.
Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing
out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.
Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling
the pain, the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly
from this net.

The Fox and the Grapes
One afternoon there was a fox that was walking through the forest
and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch. Just
the thing to quench my thirst, quoted the fox. Taking a few steps
backward, the fox jumped but unfortunately he missed the hanging
grapes. Again the fox took a few paces backward, ran, and tried to
reach them but he still failed.
Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, Theyre probably
sour anyway, and proceeded to walk away.
Pada suatu sore ada seekor rubah yang sedang berjalan melalui hutan
dan melihat sekelompok anggur tergantung di cabang yang tinggi.
"Hanya ini yang bisa memuaskan dahaga saya, "kata si rubah. Mengambil
beberapa langkah mundur, rubah melompat tapi sayangnya ia gagal
mendapatkan buah anggur menggantung tersebut. Sekali lagi rubah
mengambil beberapa langkah mundur, berlari, dan mencoba untuk
menjangkaunya tapi ia masih gagal.
