Listen to the following paragraph.

The Ant and the Dove

On his way home, an ant saw a sparkling fountain. He crawled onto its wall to take a closer look.

Suddenly he slipped and fell into the water. He gurgled and panicked and waved his legs in the air. “Help! I can't swim,” he cried. Luckily, just at that moment, a friendly dove flew by. She saw that the tiny ant was drowning and quickly flew to a nearby tree.

She pulled off a leaf and let it glide down to the ant. “Here you are,” she cooed and flew away.

(Adapted from Aesop’s Fables)

उत्तर

  1. I think the dove helped the ant because she was friendly by nature and so took pity on the tiny ant.
  2. On finding the leaf the ant would have felt very happy. She would have also felt thankful to the dove.
  3. Once I got lost in a fair. I got panicked. I requested several persons, to give me their mobile for a while so that I may call to my father. But no one helped me. In the last I went to a policeman and gave him my father’s mobile number. The policeman contacted with my father and told him to pick me up from the main gate of the compound where the fair was held.
