talking to the nest.
The grasshopper invited the ant to sit for
a chat with him. But the ant refused saying
that Im storing up food for winter. Why
dont you do the same? asked to the
grasshopper.
Pooh! Why bother about winter? said
the grasshopper; we have got enough food
at present. But the ant went on its way

and continued its toil.

Finally, when winter came, the
grasshopper found itself dying of hunger,

Excellent. It seems that you paid attention

grasshopper is dancing on a musical mood
he saw an ant passed by bearing along with
ear of corn. The grasshopper invited the ant
for a short conversation but the ant refused
him saying that hes going to store up food
for winter. The ant encouraged the
grasshopper to do the same. The grasshopper
said that they have enough food so that he
dont need to store up. And when the winter
came, the grasshopper is dying of hunger
while he saw the ant getting corn and grain
from their storage.

C. Generalization

Great! We must be prepared for everyday

problems or challenges in life but the most
important is we have faith in ourselves and
also with God.
