The Grasshopper and the Ant - English Short Story for Kids
It was a beautiful spring day, and a grasshopper was playing in a green grassy field. In that field, he noticed a line of ants carrying some wheat grains. The grasshopper asked, "Where are you going with that big load?"
"We are taking these grains to our nest," said the ant. "But it's such a beautiful day, come and have fun with me," said the grasshopper.
"No, I think you should come to work with us. It's going to be a long winter with lots of snow. You had better start storing your food now." replied the ant.
