One day an ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She made desperate(不顾一切的) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant was very tired, but she was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft(筏子), and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted(光脚) with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life.

Louis Black is at City Art Centre

A Trip into a Young Farmers Mind

Chickens that can talk? Cows that can dance? They are all in Louis Black's comic books (漫画书). Louis Black was born on a farm. The quiet young man spent most of his life helping his parents on the farm. When he was nine, he started to draw the animals on the farm. Later, he put them into his comic books in his own funny way. His family enjoyed them but people outside the farm never read them.

The shy famer's comic books became famous only after he died. He passed away in a fire three years ago, when he was only 35. In order to remember him, his family showed his comic books in the town museum, and people liked them very much. Now the original(原始的)pictures of Louis Black's farm animals can be seen at the City Art Centre for one month.
