Answer:

Last week I read a story from Panchtantra. It was a simple story of only two characters. In the story there was a hermit. He was very kind and pious. He devoted all his time in his prayer. One day he was having his bath in the river. Then he began to offer his prayer to the sun god. While he was praying he saw an ant drowning in the water. The hermit thought to save it. The ant bit in the palm of the hermit. It was a painful bite. But the hermit again tried to save it. Again and again it tried to save it. But the ant bit him repeatedly. A man was watching all this from a distance. Finally he saw that the hermit brought the ant out of water. The man was surprised at the patience of the hermit. He asked the hermit why he did so. The hermit replied that it is the nature of the ant to bite any one. But a hermit's nature is to do welfare to all. So he saved the ant. One can't change one's nature. It is really a nice story. All should read it.
