Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Once, an ant came to drink water at a stream. But accidently it fell into the water and was carried away by the swift current. He was in a great danger of drowning. A dove, perched on a nearby tree, saw the ant's danger and dropped a leaf into the water. The ant climbed onto this, and was carried to safety. Sometime after, a hunter, wandering through the bushes, saw the dove asleep, and took a careful aim with his gun. He was about to fire when the ant, who was nearby, crawled forward and bit him sharply in the ankle. The hunter missed his target and the loud noise of the gun awakened the dove from her sleep. She saw the danger and flew swiftly away to safety. Thus, the ant repaid the dove for having saved its life from the foaming current of the stream.
