Activity 3: Read the short story given below and come for the next class with a story
and share it with your friends.

A lazy grasshopper laughed at a little ant as

she was always busy gathering food.
"Why are you working so hard?" he asked,
"come into the sunshine and listen to my
merry notes."
"But the ant went on her work. She said" I
am lying in a store for the winter. Sunny days
won't last forever."
"Winter is so far away yet, "laughed the
grasshopper back.
And when the winter came, the ant settled
down in her snug house. She had plenty of
food to last the whole winter. The
grasshopper had nothing to eat so he went to
the ant and begged her for a little corn.
"No", replied the ant, "you laughed at me
when I worked. You yourself sang through
the summer. So you had better dance the
winter away."

Moral: Idleness is a curse.
