An _Ant_ and a _Pigeon_.
An _Ant_ dropt, Unluckily into the Water as she was Drinking at the Side
of a _Brook_. A _Wood-Pigeon_ took Pity of her, and threw her a little
Bough to lay hold on. The _Ant_ sav’d her self by that Bough, and in That
very Instant, spies a Fellow with a Birding-Piece, making a Shoot at the
_Pigeon_. Upon This Discovery, she presently runs up to him and Stings
him. The _Fowler_ starts, and breaks his Aim, and away flies the _Pigeon_.
The MORAL.
_All Creatures have a Sense of Good Offices, and Providence it self takes
Care, where Other Means fail, that they may not Pass Unrewarded._
