The Ant and the Grasshopper
It was a summer day. The grasshopper was sitting in the sun, playing his violin. An ant walked by with an enormous piece of corn on his back.
"That corn looks heavy", said the grasshopper.
"Come and play with me".
The ant was tired and hot. He point at a pile of corn.
"I can't. This is my food for the winter," he said.
"There isn't any food then, so I must prepare now"
The grasshopper laughed.

"I'm hungry," said the grasshopper to the ant.
"Please, can I share your food?"

"Yes, you can", said the ant, and he gave the grasshopper some corn.
"But next year you mustn't be lazy and you must prepare for winter!"
