“The Ant and the Grasshopper”
Illustrated by Scott Roberto
In a field one summer’s day a grasshopper
was hopping about,chirping and singing to
its heart’s content. An Ant passed
by,bearing along with great toil an ear of
corn he was taking to the nest.
(The students will listen)
Why not come and chat with me,’’said the
Grasshopper ‘’instead of toiling and
moiling in that way?’’
‘’I am helping to lay up food for the
winter,’’said the Ant, ‘’and recomment you
to do the same.’’
‘’ Why bother about winter?’’ said the
Grasshopper;we have got plenty of food at
present.’’ But the Ant went on its way and
continued its toil.
When the winter came the Grasshopper
found itself dying of hunger, while it saw
the ants distributing, everyday,corn and
grain from the stores they had collected in
the summer.
Then the Grasshopper knew...
It is best to prepare for the days of
necessity.
Do you enjoy and understand the story

grasshopper?

ago, his fables still apply to life today.
