The grasshopper and the ant


Once upon a time, on a hot summer day, a lazy grasshopper was
sitting on a branch of a tree. Then, he saw a long line of ants
carrying food to their nest. His friend, Ant was there too.

Grasshopper: A good day, Ant! Why are you


working so hard? It’s hot out
there. Come and sing a song with
me.
Ant: We can’t do that. We must search for food
before winter.
Grasshopper: What’s wrong with winter? Let it
come.
Ant: The weather will be very cold and the
ground will be covered with snow. There will
be no food to eat.
Grasshopper: The summer is long. I shall collect
food later. For now, I want to sing.

The cheerful grasshopper was singing but the hardworking ants


were collecting food throughout the summer. A month later, it
started to snow. Soon, the land was covered with snow. The
grasshopper had no food to eat. He felt very hungry and cold. The
grasshopper went to Ant’s house to ask for food.
Grasshopper: Ant, please help me. I’m cold
and hungry. Please give me
some food!
Ant: What were doing all summer?
Grasshopper: I was singing and playing. I
was being irresponsible and
lazy. I have learned my
lesson. Please give some food!
Ant: Alright then. Come in and share my food.
Grasshopper: Thank you, Ant. You are very kind.
