“Do you see that creeper?” he said to them. “Let us
destroy it”. “Why must we destroy it?” asked the
geese in surprise. “ It is so small. What harm can it

UNSEEN PASSAGE
On a very hot sunny day, an ant was very thirsty. It
went to a pond to drink water. The poor ant lost its
balance when drinking the water and it fell inside the
water. A dove was watching all this from a nearby
tree.
The ant was struggling for life in the water. The dove felt
very sad for the little ant. It plucked a leaf from that tree
and dropped it into the pond. The leaf fell near the ant. The
ant got over the leaf and then reached the shore. The ant
thanked the dove for his kind help.
Days passed by, after few months when the ant was going
near the pond, he saw a bad hunter with a gun. The
hunter was targeting at the dove sitting in the tree. The
dove didn't know about the hunter. Just when the hunter
was about to shoot the dove, the little ant got over his leg
and bit him. The hunter shouted in pain and also missed
his focus
Hearing this loud sound, dove realized the danger he was
about to face. The dove flew away from the tree and
escaped. Later he thanked the ant for the help.
