The Ant and the grasshopper
One sunny day, a grasshopper was hopping about in the field.
He was singing and playing happily.
An ant passed by.
He was carrying food to his nest.
‘It is bright and sunny today,’ said the grasshopper.
‘Come and play with me. You can work some other day.’
‘I am gathering food for when it rains’. Said the ant.
‘when the rain comes, there will be no food to find.’
‘oh, stop worrying,’ said the grasshopper.
‘the rain won’t come yet and there is plenty if food around.’
The ant went on his way to look for more food to take to his nest.
The grasshopper stayed in the field to sing and play.
Then one day, it began to rain.
It rained and rained for many days.
The grasshopper hopped from place to place.
He could not find any food.
He was very hungry.
Then he met the ant.
The ant was eating some food.
‘where did you get that food?’ asked the grasshopper.
‘I got it when it was sunny,’
Said the ant.
The grasshopper was very sad.
He should have worked hard during those sunny days, too.
