the grasshopper and the end
once upon a time there was a grasshopper
who lived in the forest

singing songs
what a beautiful day
one fine day some ants marched by the
grasshopper
the ants stopped to rest nearby
hey you guys what's up
we are gathering food
yeah
what a hot day
a hot day indeed
you ants are foolish it is too hot to
work
come and enjoy the cool grass with me
but we have to prepare for winter
winter
winter is months away
we have plenty of time to relax and have
fun
prepare for the winter another day
but we need to prepare now
winter will come sooner than you think
yes we don't have much time
you are so foolish
prepare for winter when it comes
then the ants left carrying their food
the grasshopper was not worried
he had picked enough leaves to last him
all day
ah
i have enough food for tonight
why should i worry about tomorrow
i can pick some more leaves then
so every day the grasshoppers sang songs
and rested in the cool grass
then fall arrived
the ants were busier than before
hey you guys why don't you come and play
with me
we do not have time to play
sure you do
no
winter will come soon
silly ant winter is still far away
the grasshopper just sang and sang
when he became hungry
he picked some leaves and ate them
but one day
the grasshopper came out of his house
and found to his surprise
the earth was covered in cold white snow
it is very cold outside
now it is time to gather some food for
the winter
the grasshopper looked and looked for
food
but the snow covered the grass
and there were no more leaves on the
trees
the grasshopper did not find anything to
eat
and now he was very very cold
he began to shiver
so he went home
i will find some food tomorrow
i will work hard from then on
tomorrow i can find food for the winter
so he went to sleep without any supper
that night
the next morning
the grasshopper saw an ant pass by his
house
ah an ant
maybe he knows where the grass and the
leaves went
hello dear ant
where are the leaves and the grass i am
hungry
you are too late grasshopper don't you
know it is already winter you should
have stored some food
you cannot find leaves or grass now
oh yes i can i can prepare for the
winter just
watch no
i'm afraid it is too late to prepare for
winter when winter has already come
the grasshopper knew that the ant was
right
the grasshopper felt very ashamed of his
laziness
lying cold and hungry in his home
the grasshopper began to cry
i have been so foolish and lazy
now i have no food
[Music]
the next day
the foolish grasshopper looked for food
but he found none
now he was certain that he would find no
food
there is no food anywhere
there are no leaves on the trees there
is no grass on the ground
surely i will starve this winter
the grasshopper began to cry loudly
[Music]
the ants heard the grasshopper
the ants were very kind and took pity on
the grasshopper
look at the grasshopper
he will die if we do not help him
yes we must share our food with him
so the ants shared their food with the
grasshopper
from that day on the grasshopper was no
longer lazy
in fact
he became the hardest working insect in
the forest
[Music]
