A great French writer has said that we should help everyone as much as we can because we often need help ourselves. The small can help the great. About this he told the following story. An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried her best to reach the side, but she couldn’t move at all. The poor ant got too tired but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity the bird threw a piece of wood into water. With it the ant reached the back again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass she heard a man coming up. He was walking with shoes on his feet and a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wanted to kill her, and he would certainly do so, but the ant bit(咬) him in one of his feet and at the moment the bird flew away at once. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than the bird herself that had saved her life.
