39. THE ANT AND THE DOVEBy Kate StonhamIt was another hot, dry day in the forest… Ant had been wandering over crin-kly, dry leaves for days in search of a nice, cool drink…All I need is a drop of rain falling from a leaf – or a tiny pool of dew �on a flower petal – or even a mud-dy puddle… he thought. But it �was so hot all the dew and puddles �in the forest had dried up.Im so thirsty, that I have no choice, Ant sighed at last. I shall have to go in search of the Roaring �River.Ant had been warned about the Roaring River. It roars and it swirls �and if you go too close, it will �sweep you away, a wise owl had told him.
