The Ant and the Grasshopper
Once upon a time, there was a grasshopper and an ant. The grasshopper was lazy, but the ant was quite the opposite. All through the summer the ant worked hard, but the grasshopper just sat on a leaf and sang.
“Why are you working so hard?” the grasshopper asked the ant one day. “You should come and sing with me.”
“I don’t have time to sing,” said the ant. “I must collect food for the winter.”
“But winter’s far away!” the grasshopper laughed. “Silly Ant! You should enjoy yourself now.” The ant was upset.
Soon the winter came. The weather became cold. There was nothing to eat. The grasshopper was very hungry so she visited the ant.
“What do you want?” said the ant when she opened the door.
“I’d like some food,” replied the grasshopper.
“Why should I give you any food?” asked the ant. “You didn’t work in summer so you have no food in winter. You should learn your lesson!”
BANG! The ant slammed the door shut.
