    THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

    Hello everybody! This is the story of the ant and the grasshopper. This is Mister Ant and this is

    Mister Grasshopper.

    Once upon a time, at the edge of a field, there lived an ant and a grasshopper. The ant

    was a hard worker. Each sunny morning, he woke up early to gather food. However, the

    grasshopper was very lazy. He liked to sleep until late in the morning. Then he would spend his

    day dancing and singing.

    One day, the grasshopper was hopping, dancing and singing when he met the

    hardworking ant. The grasshopper watched the ant work and spoke. “I have been watching

    you!” the grasshopper said. “Why don’t you come and have a good time with me? We can sing

    and dance together!”

    “Now is not the time to play,” the ant replied. “Rainy days is coming soon. I am gathering

    food for the rainy days, and you should do the same!!”

    "Hahaha…Why bother about the rainy days?" said the Grasshopper; "We have plenty of

    food at present. I am not going to worry about rainy days yet. It is such a beautiful day! Are you

    sure you want to spend it working?” “I can enjoy the day while I work,” said the ant. He left the

    grasshopper and kept on working.

    As summer turned to fall, the air got cooler. “Rainy days will be here before I know it!”

    thought the ant. So he worked even harder than he did before. The grasshopper kept on singing

    and dancing. “You are so boring!” he said to the ant. “Won’t you come and dance with me?”

    “You would do well to stop dancing and start gathering some food for yourself!” said the

    ant. “Can’t you see that rainy days is coming soon? What will you do when there is no food to

    be found during the rainy days?”


    The grasshopper ignored the ant. “What does he know?” the grasshopper thought. “I’m

    the clever one because I’m having fun. All he does is work! How very dull, indeed!” The

    grasshopper continued to dance and sing as the leaves fell from the trees.

    One week later, the rainy days came. The ant was in his home, feeling warm and cozy.

    He put his feet up and made himself comfortable. “I can relax now because I have plenty of food

    for the long, cold rainy days,” he thought with a smile. The grasshopper was sitting beneath a

    bare tree. He was shivering and hungry, but there was no food to be found. “What shall I do?

    This is no fun at all!” So the grasshopper went to the ant’s house and knocked at his door. “Hello,

    my good friend!” he said to the ant. “I am very cold and hungry, and there is no food to be found.

    Will you give me something to eat?” The ant looked at the grasshopper and invited grasshopper

    into his house. Ant gave Grasshopper something to eat. Now, the grasshopper had learnt a lesson.

    He knew what he needed to do next time. “Next time, I will put away something before the cold

    comes,” Grasshopper said. “That will be good,” Ant said. Moral values: It is better to plan for the

    future. There is time to play and there is time to work. THE END!
