One day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted 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. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away.

We love to hear from you! Below are some of the letters we’ve received recently from Time for Kids readers online. This is a great article, Back to the Future. What interests me is how some kinds of animals can survive for millions of years without changing much. Are there more kinds of animals like this? How can horseshoe crabs survive He hurt his left changes in the sea water and even live out of the water for up to four days? arm in Can horseshoe crabs be harmful or helpful? I am guessing that it is helpful Survival since they eat almost everything. This article makes me very interested and curious. Thank you for teaching me something about animals I never knew about before. —Orion H., 7th Grade, HI I really enjoy reading your new issue, Rethinking Homework. I also sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and realize I have homework to The Homework Debate do. I go to a school with a different teacher for each subject. This is a problem for me because each teacher does not know how much homework we already have, sometimes they assign a lot. I think I need less homework so I can do the things I enjoy, like playing soccer and seeing my friends. —Lydia R., 10, NC
