Question

One day an ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She made desperate (不顧一切) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant was very tired, but she was still bravely doing her best when a dove (鴿子) saw her. Moved with pity that the dove threw the ant a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft (筏子), and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted(光腳) with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life.
