What are the important elements of the

The Dove and the Ant

An ant once fell from the edge of a brook in a forest when
a dove stepped on it to drink. The ant floated helplessly,
for to it, the little brook was an ocean. The dove saw the
poor ant and so she took a blade of grass and threw it
towards the ant. The ant drifted ashore on the leaf.
One day, a hunter happened to pass by. Seeing the pretty
dove, he set his gun and aimed at the dove. The timely
bite of the ant on his heel saved the dove from death.

REMEMBER:
A good reader is skilled in noting details and also in selecting
details relevant to the main idea. Details usually answer the questions
that begin with who, what, when, where and why.
Noting details is determining and identifying the specific parts of
a story or selection. To do this, you should be able to identify the
important elements of a story: title; characters (primary and
secondary); setting; important events (climax); and the ending.

The dove flew away safely as the ant looked happily.
