A little kind kind bird lives on a beautiful tall tree. It sings attractive songs every morning.

1

One day, the bird came down the tree to drink water. In the process, it saw an ant struggling to get out of the water.

2

The bird thought of how to assist the struggling ant out of the water. It went back and plugged a piece of leaf from the tree.

3

The kind bird threw the leaf inside the water. The wise ant climbed the leaf and came out of the water easily. That is how the kind bird bird saved the life of the wise ant.

4

Few days after that, a boy was trying to catch the kind bird. Both the boy and the bird were not aware that the wise ant was looking at them attentively.

5

The wise ant senses danger coming the way of the kind bird. It thought of how to assist the bird in return. It quickly jumped onto the lap of the boy and bit him hard.

6

The boy cried very loudly and ran away very fastly. The bird felt happy and flew to the sky. That is how the wise ant saved the life of the kind bird.

7

From that day, the kind bird and the wise and became good friends. They agree to live together and continue to assist one another.
