Tell the story of ‘Manish saves the ant’ to the class. 
Let us speak
One day, Manish was walking by a stream and saw an ant struggling in the water.
He made a paper boat and put it in the water near the ant.
The ant climbed onto the boat. Manish then helped push the boat to the shore.
Once the ant was safe, it seemed to say thank you before Manish walked
away, happy that he could help.
