Question

【题目】阅读下列短文，回答问题

An ant is saved by a pigeon, and almost immediately returns the favor.

One day an ant found a grain of corn and decided to take it home. He held it very tight, and hurried as fast as he could, so that nobody would take the grain of corn from him. There was a river on the way home, but the ant, in a hurry, had forgotten about it, and he fell in, corn and all.

The corn slipped from his mouth and went to the bottom of the river. The ant stayed on top of the water and worked hard to find a place to get out. But after a while, the ant began to be afraid that he was out of breath.

A pigeon came to the river to drink, and she saw the ant crying for help in the water. She decided that she would help the little fellow. She took a long, dry piece of grass and dropped it so that it fell near the ant. He climbed on to the grass and soon got out. The ant caught his breath, and then thanked the pigeon for saving him.

There was a boy near the river with a gun. The ant saw him walking up nearer and nearer to the pigeon. Hurrying as fast as he could, the ant climbed up the boy’s leg and gave him a hard bite.

The boy dropped his gun and cried out, and the pigeon saw him and flew to safety. Each had saved the other. When the pigeon saved the ant she did not know that the ant would ever be able to do anything for her in return. Each was happier because of what each did for the other.

The Bura people say, “Every person is another’s butter.”
