Answer: __________________________________________________________

The Ant and the Grasshopper

from Aesop’s Fables
In a field, one summer day, a grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart
content. An Ant passed by carrying an ear of corn. It was a very heavy load, but he did not stop. He
was taking the corn to his nest.
“Why not come and play with me?” said the grasshopper. “The day is too nice to be working so
hard.”
“I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the ant. “I think you should be doing the
same.”
“Why worry about the winter?” the grasshopper said. “We had plenty of food now.”
The ant was tired from his work, and he thought it would be fun to join the grasshopper. But
he went on his way and went on working until he had filled his nest with corn.
Winter came as it always does, and the grasshopper had no more food to eat. He was dying of
hunger while the ants were eating every day from the corn they had stored away. Then the
grasshopper knew that it is the best way to prepare for the days ahead.

Lesson 10

Directions: Read the story entitled “The Greedy Boy”. After, answer the guide
questions in paragraph form.

The Greedy Boy

There lived a twin brother called Sam and Tom in a village! They were identical
twins, even their mother found it too hard to differentiate between them during the initial
months of birth. However, they were like two poles when it comes to everything other than
their appearance. They neither agree with anything nor do they share even one single trait!

Sam had no friends, whereas for Tom the world was friendship. Sam loved sweets and
Tom loved to eat spicy foods. Sam was mommy’s pet and Tom was daddy’s pet. While Sam
was generous, Tom was greedy!

As they grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally. However, Tom did
not agree and he argued that whoever is more intelligent and strong, will gain higher share of
wealth than other.

Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition between the two. And
they ordered the two sons to walk as long as they can and they should return home before the
sunset. Whoever covers the longer distance and returns home before sunset will get huge
amount of wealth proportionate to the distance they covered. They don’t carry watch to
calculate time.

8
Both started to walk a long way during a sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily,
while Tom urged to win over Sam started to run instantly.

The distance they cover until mid-noon will be equal to the distance they would reach
home before sunset. It was mid-noon and Sam decided to return back as he could reach home
on time.
 However, Tom, with his greediness to earn more wealth, did not turn his way back
home even after mid-noon. He walked two times longer distance that what Sam was covered
and decided to return back before the sunset. He urged to return home as the Sun turned
orange in the evening. Unfortunately, he could not even make half way to home and the
moon rises.

He lost the race and was defeated because of greediness!
