Once there lived a lazy grasshopper.
He didn’t like to work. All day long he
sang songs and played in the warm
sunshine.

“Hee, Hee! Look at me! I’m as happy
as can be!” The grasshopper laughed at
the hardworking ants as they Worked
day and night.

“We are storing grain for the long
winter ahead, they replied. The lazy
grasshopper only laughed louder,
Summer ended and the cold winter
arrived. The wind blew strong and it
started snowing.

The grasshopper now began to worry.
There is no food to eat, no grass, no
flowers or leaves. I can't see even the
tiniest fly or worm. What will I do? I
will surely starve!” he cried. “Let me
meet my kind neighbour, the ant!”

The grasshopper remembered how
the hardworking ants had stored
away grain for the winter. He knocked
at her door. “Dear ant, I am hungry
and cold. I have nothing to eat.
Please can you give me some food?”

The ant shook in anger. Lazy one!
What were you doing all summer?
You were only singing and dancing.
You should have thought of the cold
winter months ahead. Go away!”
She slammed her door shut. The lazy
grasshopper was left as hungry as
before.
