Jowy Anderson
Brief Summary of the story
• The ants were working throughout the summer break, collecting food whilst the grasshopper slacking away.
• One day, the ants met the grasshoppers and they had a conversation.
• “Why are you so busy working under the hot sun? Why don’t you relax and enjoy life now?” the one of the grasshoppers asked.
• “We are preparing food for the winter. Food is a lot now. Its better to store it before the cold season arrives. Food is hard to get during winter.” Replied one of the ants.
• “Ha ha ha ! Did you say preparing for the winter? Winter is still a long way off, my friend. Why hurry? Take it easy and enjoy life a little. Relek laa.. See, the sun is so hot, take a break.” laughed the grasshoppers.
• “If you don’t store up food now, you will regret later” said one of the ants.
• The grasshoppers mocked the ants, and so the ant walked away.
