The Ant and the Grasshopper (4) [Ant and Grasshopper]
The Ant and the Grasshopper (4)
Meanwhile, the rest of the animals in the woods were very busy.
The squirrels stored their acorns, and the Ant lined the tunnels of his home with seeds and other foods.
The Grasshopper, however, lay lazily in the cornfield, singing songs to himself.
The Ant walked by carrying a full load of food.
" When winter comes, we'll be snug and warm in our nest, " thought the Ant.
All summer the Grasshopper watched the ants as he relaxed in his comfortable cornstalk hammock.
When he saw them going to a picnic for crumbs, he hopped along to eat his fill.
While they carried food back to their nest, he slept.
Then one day the Grasshopper heard a loud noise in the field.
He jumped from his bed to see what was happening.
The farmer was coming to harvest the corn !
The Grasshopper hopped into the grass just in the nick of time.
" That was a close call, " sang the Grasshopper.
" Now I've lost my food and bed ! I don't know where I'll rest my head. "
