- THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANTS
-
- The grasshopper was happpy and content as he sat and
- sang on a leaf. He could not understand why the ants worked
- so hard, even in summer. "Carrying grain in this heat! How
- crazy!"
- Time passed and winter arrived. One day the hungry
- grasshopper came to the ants while they were drying their
- grain in the sun.
- "Will you give me some of your grain? You have so much!"
- "But why didn't you put some away last summer?"
- they replied.
- "I didn't have time," answered the grasshopper. "I had
- to sing."
-
- "If you sang in the summer, then you can dance in
- winter!" said the ants,laughing.
