Question

A great French writer has said that we should help everyone as much as we can because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. About this, he told the following story.

One day, an ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried her best to reach the side, but she couldn't move at all. The poor ant got too tired but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity（同情）, the bird threw her a piece of wood. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man coming up. He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun in his hand. When he saw the bird, he wanted to kill her. As soon as he raised his gun, the ant bit（咬）him in one of his feet.

He stopped to see what happened to his foot. At that moment, the bird flew away at once. The ant was much weaker and smaller than the bird, but it did save the bird's life.
