We should help everyone as much as we can，and we ourselves often need help．The great（强者） can help the small while the small can help the great．About this，a French writer told the following story．
An ant（蚂蚁） was drinking by a small river and fell in．She tried her best to reach the side of the river，but she couldn't move at all．The poor ant got too tired，but she was still doing her best．At this time a bird saw her，she threw a piece of wood to her．With it the ant got to the side．
When the ant was drying herself in the grass，she heard a man coming up．He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun（枪） in his hand．As soon as he saw the bird，he wanted to kill her．But the ant bit（咬） him in one of his feet just as he was going to kill the bird．He stopped to see what had bit him．And at that time the bird flew away at once．
