The bee and the pigeon
One day a bee was
flying above a stream. Suddenly it hit a branch of a neighboring Oak tree and
fell into the water. The bee could not fly as its wings were wet and struggled
to come out of the water. There was a pigeon on the branch of a tree and saw
the pitiable bee in the water. The pigeon felt sympathy for the bee and dropped
a leaf from the Oak tree nearby the bee.
The bee who was
exhausted after the struggle to get out of the water, got on the leaf and managed
to save its life. The bee’s wings gradually dried and after a while, the bee’s
wings were not wet anymore and he could fly. The bee thanked the pigeon for
rescuing it and flew away.
Several days later, a
huntsman came in to the forest looking for a wild animal. Unfortunately, he was
unable to hunt any animal for his meal. He sat under the Oak tree and rested a
while. He saw the pigeon sleeping on a branch and thought of hunting the pigeon.
He took the bore and aimed at the pigeon. Then the bee, rescued by the pigeon
was flying nearby and saw the huntsman. The bee bit the huntsman and he
screamed in pain. The pigeon was awaken by that scream and flew away thanking
the bee.
