- The Ant and the Grasshopper
- Do you know a story about these two insects?
- In the summer, the grasshopper rested and sang a lot and was lazy, and the ant worked hard. The grasshopper laughed at the ant for working so hard. In the winter, the grasshopper didn’t find any food, but the ant had a lot of food after working in the summer. The grasshopper asked the ant for some food, and the ant suggested that the grasshopper sing in the winter too.
