THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANTS One summer‚ a grasshopper spent his days merrily singing and dancing. Everywhere he hopped‚ ants were busy ghatering grains of wheat and corn. He laughed at the ants and said‚ “How dull! Why don’t you sing and dance with me instead of working in the hot sun?” “Were are storing away food for the winter‚” they explained. “ You should do the same.” The grasshopper laughed and replied‚ “ Why worry about winter? I have plenty to eat for now.” And he hopped
