The Ant and the Grasshopper
There were two best friends – an ant and a grasshopper. The grasshopper liked to relax the whole day and play
his guitar. The ant, however, would work hard all day. He would collect food from all corners of the garden,
while the grasshopper relaxed, played his guitar, or slept. The grasshopper would tell the ant to take a break
every day, but the ant would refuse and continue his work. Soon, winter came. The days and nights became cold
and very few creatures went out. The grasshopper couldn’t find any food and was hungry all the time. However,
the ant had enough food to last through the winter, without any worries at all.
