An ant was caught on a dry leaf that is being carried away by the current of river water.
It silently cried for help. A bird mistook the leaf for a frog and came diving in carrying the dry leaf on it's beak! The ant was delighted to land on the hard ground.
It was very grateful to the bird and would "show gratitude to all birds," it resolved. One day, a hunter was pointing his rifle towards a bird to shoot it.
Ant noticed what was happening, quickly crawled to the hunter and stung him as he was pulling the trigger. Hunter lost his aim and the bird escaped.
The ant had paid it's debt.
