PRE-TEST The Ant and the Dove
One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.
She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her.
Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.
Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way. Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.

POST-TEST
Mouse-deer and Crocodile
One day there was a deer who was looking for food in the forest. He walked through the forest, because the food around him began to decrease.
The mouse deer went through the forest, until he found a river. The river was filled with hungry crocodiles. The mouse deer was not out of his mind. For a moment he thought, he also found a way to deal with a herd of hungry crocodiles. “Hey crocodile, have you guys had lunch?” The mouse deer shouted to the crocodile in the river.
Suddenly a crocodile came to the surface of the water and said “Who is that screaming? Just interrupting my nap!” The other crocodiles also responded curtly to the deer's question "Shut up you deer! Or else we will eat you!”Mouse Deer replied "Calm down, crocodile, I'm here with a message from the king of the jungle. So don't you eat me yet." The crocodiles were also curious about the message brought by the deer.
“The king of the jungle asked me to count the number of crocodiles in this river. Because, the king of the jungle will give you a gift. So, call all your friends," cried the deer to the crocodile. Hearing this, the crocodile was happy and rushed to call his flock. The crocodiles then lined up neatly on the surface of the river. After the herd of crocodiles lined up, the deer then jumped up while counting the crocodiles. But apparently, it was just a clever tactic of the deer to cross a river filled with crocodiles.
