The Dove and the Bee

                                                   The Dove and the Bee

"Kindness never goes unrewarded" is an often-quoted proverb.It means if we help others in their difficulties,they will help us in our difficulties.If we do good to others,they will do good to us.There is a famous story to illustrate the truth of this proverb.

one day a bee was very thirsty.It went to river to drink some water.But it was driven away by the waves.A dove was sitting in her nest.She saw that the bee was unable to fly and was about to drown.She took pity on the poor bee.She,at once,plucked a leaf and dropped it near the bee.

The bee somehow or the other succeeded in climbing over the leaf.It dried its wings in the sun and flew away.The bee thanked the dove for saving its life.They became friends.

After few days.the dove was sitting on the branch of a tree.A hunter happened to come there.He saw the dove.He loaded his gun to shoot her down.He had taken aim at the dove.The bee that was flying here and there happened to see all that.It,at once,flew towards the hunter and stung him on his hand.The hunter felt a jerk and missed his aim.

The dove flew away with the bang of the gun and saved her life.Thus she received the reward of her noble deed done to the bee.
Moral:

1. Do good,have good
2. Kindness never goes unrewarded
3. One good turn deserves another
