True Friends
True Friends
Strong current always flowed on that stream.
A tall tree stood steady just on its brim.
A dove used to take rest on nest on top of tree.
An ant stayed in hole on ground moving free.
Both were good friends caring for each other.
Ant below and dove above loved each other.
Once, losing grip the ant slipped on water.
It tended to sink on rushing flow of river.
Dove dropped a leaf in front of sinking ant.
The ant managed to sit on leaf at that instant/
Leaf-boat reached the ant to the bank.
Ant waved its antenna to say ‘Thanks’.
Shortly came n hunter aiming at the dove.
This time the ant was prompt to observe.
It bit a strong sting on the hunter’s toe.
Hunter had to leave his bow and arrow.
Dove became alert and flew away.
Ant moved happily on its way.
“A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Grow Great. Be Grateful. Do Good Deed.”
