animals were working very hard to stock their larders
with enough food to last them the winter. They all
knew that winter time would be tough - it would be
cold and food would be scarce. As it would get dark
really soon, it would be difficult to go looking for
food.
Therefore, everyone was working hard, all except Mr
Grasshopper. He loved autumn. Autumn was a time when
the leaves changed colour. It was all so so pretty.
The trees seemed to be on fire with red, yellow and
orange leaves, which then fell off and covered the
ground. There was a pleasant breeze too.
Mr Grasshopper spent his days playing. He jumped from
leaf to leaf and from one fallen twig to another. What
he liked best was the way the leaves bounced when he
jumped off them, and how the leaf he landed on swayed
with his weight. "Yooo eeeeee. Life is lovely, the
world is beautiful, I want to play forever..." he
sang.
Just then little Miss Ant happened to pass by. She was
dragging a heavy grain of rice behind her. "Oowf. This
is so heavy. I wish I could get some help with this. I
should have asked my brother to come along to help
me," she was muttering. "Oh, do you need help?" asked
Mr Grasshopper.
"Yes, sir. Would you give me a hand? My ant hill is
just a few trees away, but this is so heavy," replied
the ant happily. "Naw. First you come and play with me
for some time, then I shall gladly help you. What are
you toiling for anyway? Autumn is so beautiful, you
too should enjoy the weather while you can," the
grasshopper said.
"No, Mr Grasshopper. You too must start collecting
your food for the winter. Otherwise it will be tough
as there won't be anything to eat," said the concerned
ant.
"Nothing doing. I will go out and find all the food I
want when I am hungry. Right now it is time to play
and have a party," the silly grasshopper replied. So
Miss Ant just shook her head and went on - "Huff,
puff, huff, puff."
Then winter came. It was so cold that the ants didn't
dare to come out. But their tummies were full and they
were warm and happy. Actually, everyone was warm and
happy, except for Mr Grasshopper. He was cold and
hungry. As he went hunting for food only when it was
less cold than usual, he got very little to eat and
soon became weak with hunger.
"Oh, why did I spend my days playing? I should have
listened to the ant..." he thought with regret.
