It was a hot afternoon in the grasslands. A grasshopper was resting under a bush when, suddenly, he heard a noise. In the distance, he saw a long line of ants moving slowly towards him. They were carrying heavy seeds and fruit. ‘I don’t understand these ants. Why are they always working?’ thought the grasshopper.
One of the ants was passing when it dropped its seed to have a rest. ‘Are you moving somewhere?’ asked the grasshopper. ‘No,’ replied the ant. ‘We’re carrying food to our nest. We’re collecting food for winter.’ ‘Why?’ laughed the grasshopper. ‘Winter isn’t for a long time. You should do something more useful . Have fun and enjoy the summer!’ ‘It’s important to be prepared,’ replied the ant. Summer passed slowly. The ants continued to take food to their nest and the grasshopper continued to eat, sleep and play. Finally, winter arrived.
