One day, a poor farmer found a big jar of honey. Excited, he placed it on the top shelf in his kitchen. That night, the farmer wondered about the jar of honey. "If I sold it, I bet I could buy five sheep. And every year, the sheep would have babies. I would have many lambs. After the lambs grew up, I could sell all of my animals. I would be rich! I would have a wife. And we would have a son! Oh, he would be such a fine boy!" Lost in his daydream, the farmer swung his arms in excitement. He knocked the honey jar off the shelf. The jar fell on the floor, and the honey was spilled. Now the man had no honey and his dreams were lost.
Why did the farmer swing his arms?

It was summer. The air was warm, the grass was green, and there was plenty of food. Every day, Grasshopper slept in the sun, played in the grass, and filled his belly. One day, some little ants walked by with heavy loads on their backs. Grasshopper asked them what they were doing. One ant told Grasshopper that they were storing food for winter. "But it's summer now," said Grasshopper. "There is plenty of food." The ants simply went back to work. Grasshopper chewed on some grass. Then, he took a nap. That winter, the air grew cold. The grass turned gray. There was no food around, and Grasshopper hadn't stored any. The ants had stored plenty of food. So, they got to eat while Grasshopper was weak and hungry. Grasshopper wished he had worked more during the summer!
When winter came, why was Grasshopper weak and hungry?
