THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
It was a hot summer day. A group of ants were working hard. They were carrying food. Some grasshoppers were playing in the shade of a tree.
One of the grasshoppers asked an ant, “ Why are you working so hard on such a hot day?” “ Because you can not find food in winter, so we are getting food for winter,”answered the ant. “ It's too early to find food for winter. You are a fool to work on such a hot day.” he teased the ant. The ant was very angry and shouted at the grasshopper, “ Well, go and play! You will have a bad time in winter.”
Summer was over and winter came. The grasshopper could not find food anywhere. He was both cold and hungry. He went to the ant's home and knocked at the door.
“Mr. ant , I'm very cold and hungry. I'm dying. Please let me have something to eat,”he said. The ant opened the door and said, “Mr. Grasshopper, you played and sang and teased us in the summer. Please go to play and sing now.” Days later, the grasshopper died in the snow.
