Grasshopper and Ant
Grasshopper and Ant
Num. : 21
Class : IX C
One summer day, there was a grasshopper who chirped and sang about its heart
content. Then, an ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was
taking to the nest.
“Why don’t you come and sing with me instead of moiling and toiling away?”
The grasshopper said. “I am preparing the foods for the winter. You have to do the
same.” The ant replied.
“Why? I don’t have any worries about winter. I have got plenty of foods.” Said
the grasshopper.
But the ant left the grasshopper and continued its toil. Then, the winter came, the
grasshopper found there was no food left to eat. It was so hungry. The grasshopper
remembered when it saw the ants collecting the foods in summer for the stock in winter.
Then the grasshopper knew he was so wrong didn’t follow the ant in collecting
the foods.
