The seasons make us think of a story. It's about an ant and a grasshopper.
The grasshopper and the ant lived in a forest. 1 All summer, the grasshopper sat and sang happily in the sun. But the ant made a house under the ground. Autumn came and the ant worked harder. He collected food and took it into his house. "Why do you work so hard?" asked the grasshopper. "2 It'll be very cold and it'll snow too. It'll be hard to find any food," said the ant. "Don't be silly, my friend," laughed the grasshopper. "There will be enough food in the forest in winter. 3"
At last, winter came. 4 He had a lot of food. The grasshopper was outside in the snow. He looked for food everywhere, but he found nothing. He felt cold, hungry and disappointed(失望的). The ant heard the grasshopper and came out of his house. "What's wrong, my friend?" asked the ant. "I'm cold and hungry," answered the grasshopper sadly. The ant said, "5 It's warm inside and I've got enough food for both of us." The grasshopper thanked the ant and promised, "When spring comes, I'll work hard like you."
