One day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate(adj.拼死的) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted(adj.精疲力竭的) was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it.

Dear Mike,
I want to thank you again of having me in your home for the summer holidays. I returned to my village after moving away so long and it was really delighted to see most of my old friends again. I told my parents and all my friend here what a great time I had. I found very interesting to ride a horse down a river. I also enjoyed the evenings we spent them together. But I can't forget the good food you cook for me. It was wonderful. I wish you two can come to my home some time soon. Father and Mother look forward to see you. Maybe you could come during a winter holidays. My uncle Ben will also come back for Christmas with us. I’m sure we'll have a wonderful time together.
With best wishes.
Yours truly,
Tom
