Once upon a time, there lived an ant and a grasshopper in a grassy meadow. All day, the ant worked hard. She collected grains of wheat from the farmer s field, far away. Every day, she would start in the morning to bring grains of wheat. All day long she would toil, without stop or rest, scurrying back and forth from the field, collecting the grains of wheat and storing them carefully in her larder. The grasshopper would look at her and laugh. Why do you work so hard, dear ant? he would say. Come, rest for a while, and listen to my song. Summer is here, the days are long and bright. Why waste the sunshine in labour and toil? The ant ignored him every time, and just kept hurrying to the field a little faster. This made the grasshopper laugh even louder. He thought the ant was silly to work like this and not enjoy the summer months. He would say, Come and dance with me! Forget about work and enjoy the summer! and the grasshopper would hop away across the meadow, singing and dancing merrily. Then, the winter came and snow began to fall. The sun was hardly seen, and it became freezing cold. The grasshopper was cold and hungry. He had nowhere to shelter from the snow, and nothing to eat. There was no food, everything was covered with snow.

2 Oh! What shall I do? Where shall I go? wailed the grasshopper. Suddenly he remembered the ant. Ah! I shall go to the ant and ask her for food and shelter! decided the grasshopper. So off he went to the ant's house and knocked at her door. Hello ant! he cried cheerfully. Here I am, to sing for you. I will warm myself by your fire, while you get me some food from that larder of yours! The ant looked at the grasshopper and said, All summer long, I worked hard while you made fun of me, and sang and danced. You should have thought of winter then! Go away and find somewhere else to sing, grasshopper! There is no warmth or food for you here! And the ant shut the door on the grasshopper's face. Now, answer these questions. A.
