I. Read and understand the story below before answering.

The Locust and the Ant

It is a nice and sunny day when the locust and the ant set out for
a meal in a local rice field. After they've eaten their fill, the ant prepares
to take a grain of rice home with him. The locust laughs at the ant and
mocks his unnecessary work. Months pass and the rice has been
harvested. The locust is in trouble because he is hungry and there's
nothing to eat. He remembers his friend, the ant, taking rice home from
the field in the summer. The locust shows ups at the ant's house,
begging for food. The ant merely laughs. Who is the foolish one now?
