THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
I am a hard-working ant. Grasshopper is very lazy. During the summer months, Grasshopper plays in the bush. “I work hard”,” says the ant. I talk to Grasshopper, but he won’t listen.
“Grasshopper, don’t be lazy. Get food with me today,” says the ant.
“No! Come and play with me,” says the Grasshopper. “I must get food for the rainy months. I think you should too,” I say.
“Why worry about rainy months? They are still far away,” Grasshopper laughs at me.
Then the rainy months come. There is very little food. Grasshopper has no food. He comes to my door.
“Ant, please help me. I am so hungry. I will sing and dance for you, says Grasshopper.
“You didn’t listen to me all summer long, I worked hard. You just played. So you should go without supper,” says the ant, and shut the door at Grasshopper.
