It was a beautiful spring day, and a grasshopper

was playing in a green grassy field. In that field he


noticed a line of ants marching along carrying
some grains of wheat. The grasshopper asked, “
Where are you going with that big load?”.
“We are taking these grains to our
nest,” said the Ant. “But it's such a
beautiful day, come and have fun
with me,” said the grasshopper.
“No, I think you should come work with us it's going to be a
long winter with lots of snow. You had better start storing
your food now” replied the ant.
“Why worry about the winter? It's only spring, and there are lots of food
everywhere,” said the grasshopper. The grasshopper did not listen to the ant. All
through the spring, the grasshopper did nothing except eat, sleep and play. He
became quite fat.
Then the summer came. Ants were busy collecting food for winter, but the
grasshopper did nothing but eat, sleep and play. He became even fatter!.
Later Autumn came. Ant advised the grasshopper to collect food for winter but he
didn't listen. “Winter is not here yet, and when it comes, I am sure I will be able to find
some food”.
A few weeks later, winter came, and the snow began to fall. Just as
the ants said, the snow was very deep.
Ants were all snug(warm and comfortable)in
their nest with lots of good food to eat.
The grasshopper, however, had trouble
finding food. He was very hungry and
miserably cold all winter. By the time
winter had ended.
The grasshopper had learned a
valuable lesson. Next spring
onward, the grasshopper went out
to gather food with the ant
