The Grasshopper and the Ant
One hot summer day, a grasshopper was jumping and playing in the grass. An ant went by. The ant was bringing food to its nest.
The grasshopper said, "Come play with me."
The ant said, "Oh no, I am getting food for the long winter."
"What a silly little ant you are!" said the grasshopper. "The days are warm and sunny. Come, sing and play with me!"
The grasshopper played and played. The ant kept on working.
When winter came, the grasshopper was very hungry. The ant had lots of food to eat.
The ant said to the grasshopper, "What a silly big grasshopper you've been! Next summer, do your work before you play!"
