Translation (Gun Mai)
The title of the story is a dove and an ant. A long time ago, an ant was floated in a river. Although the ant was making effort extremely to be able to escape from the river, it seemed hopeless as there was no one to help him. When the ant was floating so, a dove was sitting on a branch of a tree, which was existed next to the river. When the dove looked in the river, he saw that an ant was floating and trying to escape from the river. So, the dove was the pity of the ant and he dropped a branch to the ant. The dove dropped the branch with his foot and it was dropped next to the ant. So, the ant climbed on the branch and then reached the river bank. Thus, the ant thanked a lot to the dove and he thought to himself that "The dove saved me. I will also help him back one day." Then, the ant was showing sun on the river bank as he felt cold. But, the dove did not know what the ant was thinking and he just staying himself on the tree. At that time, the ant saw that a hunter was coming. The hunter was coming and about to shoot the dove. When the hunter was about to shoot the dove, the ant thought to himself that "Oh... it is the time to help him because he saved me." Then, the ant was running quickly to the hunter and bit seriously at the heel of the hunter. So, the hunter was hurt and kicked his foot. Because of the kick sound 'buk', the dove heard and flew away. The ant was feeling happy for what he did and said to himself that "I am very happy that I could help the dove who saved me. But, the dove might not know this time that I helped him. But, it is OK even though he doesn't know." On the next days, when the ant was staying, the dove was caught in a trap and was asking for help. "Please help me. I was caught here. Help me," the dove was shouting. The ant heard about that and went to see who was it. He saw the dave so he said to himself that "He is my saviour. I have to help him." Then, he requested his friends so a lot of ants came and bit, and the dove was released finally. The dove saw the ants and said that "Thank you very much for saving me." "It is OK. I am also very happy to save you because you also saved me. But, it is not the only time that I saved you. I have saved you before as well," the ant said. The dove then said that "Thank you very much. I did not the first time but I thank you very much. Will you follow me?" The ant said OK. So, the dove carried all the ants one by one and put them in his nest. So, they became friends for a long period. The ants could also stay warm in the nest. They helped each other and lived happily.
