An ant was drinking in a small river when she fell in. She tried to reach the side, but failed。 Just then a bird saw her. The bird threw her a piece of grass。 The grass supported her like a boat, so she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man coming up. The man didn’t wear shoes and he was carrying a gun in his hand。 As soon as he saw the bird， he decided to kill it with his gun. Slowly he raised his gun. The ant bit him in the foot。 The man stopped to see what had bit him， and the bird immediately flew away。
