The Ant and the Grasshopper lauragibbs The Ant and the Grasshopper This is an ant. The ant works hard and thinks about the future. In summer, the ant works... gathering food. Then it drags the food away... into its hole. The ant stores up food during the summer... so that it will have something to eat in the winter. This is a grasshopper. The grasshopper takes it easy, not thinking about the future. In summer, the grasshopper sings... but it does not do any work. Soon winter time arrives... and the weather is very cold. The ant stays in its hole... eating its food. But the grasshopper doesn't have any food. Hoping to get help, the grasshopper goes... and knocks on the ant's door. The hungry grasshopper shouts: "Oh Ant, I beg you!" "Give me some food!" "You have so much food, and I don't have any." "I am about to die of hunger!" But the ant has some questions for the grasshopper: "I worked all summer long... gathering food." "While I was working, what were YOU doing?" The grasshopper answers: "I was wandering among the flowers... and in the grass." "I sang songs for everybody, free of charge." "That is what I did this summer!" The ant laughs and closes the door: "If you sang during the summer... you can dance to stay warm in the winter." The moral of the story: If you don't work... you don't eat.
