Love begets love!
Posted on: August 1, 2014
It was a very hot sizzling summer day. An ant was searching here and there for water. After some time she at last came to a pond. She could not swim. She kept thinking as to how to reach water and satisfy its dryness. She saw a grass bed, so she climbed on a blade of grass to make her way. But, unfortunately she lost her balance and thus she slipped and fell into the pond.
A dove sitting on the close by tree was watching everything. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped near the struggling ant. The ant moving towards the leaf tried and climbed up on it. The leaf carried the ant safely to the dry ground.
The ant looked at the dove gratefully.
The innocent dove was unaware of the hunter’s net. The hunter was impatient to trap the dove in his net. It was the ants turn now to payback. So the ant bit on the hunter’s heel. It pinch was so painful that the hunter dropped his net. The dove then realizing the danger instantly flew away and saved its life.
Moral: Love begets love!

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawnmower is broken.
The Ant and the Grasshopper
Posted on: November 26, 2012
The ants were busy keeping the grains of wheat which they gathered round during summer to help them stay alive in freezing months of winter.
A weedy and drawn out grasshopper came to one of the ants. He was very hungry. Seeing the active ants, he asked for a handful of food from the Ants’ Food Store to save his life.
The ant who was in charge of the Store asked, “What were you doing during the summer while we all were collecting and saving the foodstuff, for the rainy days?”
The grasshopper replied recklessly, “Oh! I was also not resting. I was busy singing and wandering in forest all summer long.”
With the sneer the ant locking his grain door said, “Well! Since you sang all summer, it looks as though you have to dance all winter.”
Moral of the story: It is wise to save today for the needs of tomorrow.
blessings for all
