PRESENTATION

The Ant and the Grasshopper

It was summer, hot and sunny, and, instead of working and preparing for winter, a Grasshopper preferred

to dance, sing and play his violin at his leisure, not minding that these wonderful days will soon be over, that

cold and rainy days will soon be near. On seeing a hardworking Ant passing by him, preparing for the

hard winter that was to come one day, he invited him to join him and share his fun.

Unfortunately, I dont have time for this, the Ant answered, I must work hard, so that winter wont find me

without shelter and food .

Stop worrying so much, there is still plenty of time to prepare for winter. Lets sing and dance together ,

lets laugh and enjoy life.

 PRESENTATION

But Ant was very wise and wouldnt pay attention to the Grasshoppers words and continued to work hard and store

food for the long winter that was to come.

The winter came sooner than expected, and the Grasshopper found himself without home and without food .

He went to the Ants house and begged him for food and shelter .

Im sorry, but I cant help you, the Ant said. I only have room and food for me and my family , so go find help

somewhere else.

I should have followed Ants example in the summer , the Grasshopper thought sadly . I would have been

so happy now

THE END
