The story started in a harvest time in the countryside. The grasshopper was very happy singing and jumping and went on celebrating the whole day because of the abundance of food that day, while the ant was busy collecting and keeping foods in its house. The grasshopper asked the ant why it needs to work hard to collect and keep foods with the fact that they have lots of supply because its harvest time. The ant said that it is a preparation for the rainy season. The grasshopper thought that it was a stupid thing to do so it went on dancing and singing while the ant went on gathering foods to be saved...
Rainy season came and the grasshopper has nothing to eat and can not go out to look for food because everything is wet. The ant, on the other hand, has no problem at all because everything is fine in its house and it has lots of food supplies saved even before the rainy season.
The grasshopper wanted to ask for food fom the ant but it can not go to the ants house so the grasshopper died wishing..."if only i had listened to the ant."
The lesson is that, we should not waste our resources today. We should save for the future. The present generation, political leaders and all leaders of the world, please do not exploit the resources of the earth for our children and our children''s children...i beg you, please listen to the ant.

This is the story of hardworking of the ant and the laziness of the grasshopper. Ant is always searching for his food because he knew that the rainy season will come. While the grasshopper was singing and playing all around and when the rain comes grasshopper has no food. He go to the ant's house and beg some foods. The ant gives him food.
ReplyDeleteThe ant shows helpfulness to the grasshopper, meaning, despite of some calamities, we must show helpfulness.
The story also tells that we must work hard and prepare for our future because we don't know what will happen.
As a future educator, this story will inspire my students to work hard in their studies. I will tell them that they should be like the ant and not to simulate the attitude of the grasshopper.
I will tell them that if they work hard, they will have a reward from me.
