What did the ant do to save the dove?

Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and answer the following question.

One hot day, an ant was looking for some water. After wandering around for some time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to mount a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the water. She could have drowned if a dove sitting nearby a tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly picked a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant went towards the leaf and climbed up. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground. Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it. Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net. The dove escaped away safely. So, one should always help others to be helped by others.
