The Ant and the Grasshopper

One day, a grasshopper was relaxing in a field, eating as much


grass as he could. When his tummy was full, he began to play
some music. He was having a great time in the sun.
Then, an ant walked by. The ant was carrying
some corn.
“Come and sing with me!” said the
grasshopper. “No,” said the ant. “I am busy
getting food for the winter.”
“Don’t worry about the winter!” said the
grasshopper. “We have lots of food
and it is sunny today.”
But the ant went on his way and carried on
collecting food.
“What a silly ant!” said the grasshopper. “He
can worry about winter when it is winter!”
When winter came, the grasshopper had no food.
The ant and his family had plenty to eat.
“Please can I have some of your food?” said the grasshopper.
“No!” said the ant. “You said I was silly!”
The grasshopper was hungry all winter. He learnt a very
hard lesson.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
One summer’s day, a grasshopper was relaxing in a field, eating
as much grass as he could. When his tummy was full, he began
to play some music. He hopped about, playing happily.
Slowly, an ant walked by, carrying some corn.
“Come and sing with me!” called the
grasshopper. “No,” replied the ant. “I am
busy collecting food to prepare for the
winter.”
“There’s no need for that! Don’t worry about
the winter!” said the grasshopper.
“We have lots of food and it is sunny today.”
But the ant shook his head and went on his
way. He carried on collecting food all day,
walking slowly past the grasshopper with his
corn.
“What a silly ant!” said the grasshopper. “He
should worry about winter when it is winter!”
When winter finally came and the snow was on the ground, the
grasshopper had no food. The hardworking ant and his family
had plenty to eat.
“Please can I have some of your food?” said the
grasshopper. “No!” shouted the ant. “You said I was
silly!”
So, the grasshopper was hungry all
winter. He learnt a very hard lesson.

In a field one summer’s day, a grasshopper was relaxing, eating
as much grass as he could. When his tummy was full, he began to
play some music. He hopped about, playing happily.
Slowly, an ant passed him by, carrying an ear
of corn.
“Why not come and sing with me?” called the
grasshopper.
“No,” replied the ant. “I am busy collecting food to
prepare for the winter. I recommend
that you do the same.”
“Why bother about winter?” said the grasshopper.
“We have plenty of food and it is a beautiful
sunny day.”
But the ant shook his head and went on his way. He
continued with his hard work all day, walking slowly
past the grasshopper with his corn.
“What a silly ant!” said the lazy grasshopper. “He should worry
about winter when it is winter!”
When winter finally came and the snow was on the ground, the
grasshopper had no food. The ant and his family had plenty to eat
from the stores of grain he had collected in the summer.
“Please can I have some of your food?” begged the
grasshopper. “You can spare a little bit of corn.”
“No!” shouted the ant. “You said I was silly!”
So, the grasshopper was hungry all
winter. He learnt a very hard lesson.
