The Ants who were Rescued from the Floods

 

































Once upon a time in a small village, there was a tall tree growing on the bank of a stream.  At the foot of the tree was a large anthill.  

One rainy day, the water level suddenly rose.  Taken totally by surprise, the panic-stricken ants worked frantically to evacuate the colony and save everyone from drowning. 

While one team of ants set about transferring their eggs, another group carried off the provisions  A little boy was watching the ants frenzied efforts and took pity on them.  

He found a large leaf and placed it across the stream to make a bridge.  Thanks  to this makeshift bridge, all the ants crossed safely to the other bank.  

Not one was drowned or wounded on the way. The whole colony of ants was delighted, and warmly thanked the little boy for his kindness. (thesoulandyou.blogspot.com -  Source: Thư Viện Hoa Sen)
