 They were sitting on the bank of a canal when they saw an ant grabbing a grain of wheat.

 She was walking towards the canal. Hazrat Sulayman (as) looked at her very carefully. When the ant approached the water, suddenly a frog pulled its head out of the water and opened its mouth.  Gone, the frog entered the water and stayed in the water for a long time,

 Hazrat Sulaiman (PBUH) kept watching him very carefully. Shortly after, the frog came out of the water and opened its mouth, then the ant came out, but there was no grain with it.

 Hazrat Sulaiman (peace be upon him) called her and inquired about her whereabouts and where she had gone. She said: O Prophet of Allah!  There are spiders, Allah Almighty has created them there, they cannot go out to seek sustenance from there. Allah Almighty has made me the guardian of his sustenance, I take away his sustenance.  And Allah has made this frog subservient to me so that he may carry me away. The water does not harm me because it is in his mouth.  The frog pushes me out of its mouth when I reach its mouth through a hole in the rock.

 Hazrat Sulaiman (peace be upon him) said: "Have you heard any of the praises of these insects?" The ant said: Yes!  They all say:

 "O you who do not forget me even in this deep water."
