A Script of the Ant and the Grasshopper
THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
Narrator: Once upon a time in a field on a summer day, there was a happy Grasshopper who liked to play, sing, and dance all day.
Grasshopper: What a splendid day! *sighs*
**LAZY SONG**
Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay on the grass
Don’t feel like picking up some food
So I’ll just play and sing all day
‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything..
NOTHING AT ALL! Woohoo, wooh---.
Ant: Don’t you ever get tired of playing?
Grasshopper: Oh hey, Ant! Who, me? … Of course not! It’s very fun you know.
Ant: Don’t you ever work?
Grasshopper: Who, me? Of course not! Don’t you want to play with me?
Ant: No, I still have work to do.
Grasshopper: Come on, don’t be like that, let’s sing together. Don’t you wanna know what FUN is?
**THE FUN SONG**
F is for Friends who do stuff together.
U is for You and me.
N is for Anywhere and anytime at all.
Right here, wanderin’ ‘round the vast, green fields.
Ant: F is for Field work, gathering food for winter
U is for Unlaziness.
N is for numbering how much food you have gathered.
Here, workin’ hard in vast, green fields.
Grasshopper: Ant, those things are no fun at all!
Ant: That’s not true, it’s also fun to wooooork. (On my own’s That I have never knoooown)
Grasshopper: Work, work, work! … That’s all you do… You don’t have time to play or sing with me.
Ant: It’s not like that, grasshopper. I’m just busy.
Grasshopper: Why are you in such a hurry?
Ant: I have to take home this heavy kernel of corn.
Grasshopper: What for?
Ant: I have to store food for the winter.
Grasshopper: How can you think about winter on such a fine day?
Ant: Because the winter will be here soon, and food will be too hard to find… and you should do the same.
Grasshopper: I don’t want to worry about winter right now! You just go ahead and work, work, work… and I will just play, sing, and dance.
Ant: Soon, you will not have enough food to eat.
Grasshopper: I have plenty of food
