Talk about the pictures.
Match the parts of the story with the right pictures.
At last, winter came. The ant stayed in his warm house. 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.
The grasshopper and the ant lived in a forest. The grasshopper was lazy and the ant was hard-working. All summer, the grasshopper sat in the sun and sang happily all the time. The ant made a house under the ground.
The ant heard the grasshopper and came out of his house. ‘What’s the matter, my friend ’ asked the ant. ‘I’m cold and hungry,’ answered the grasshopper sadly. ‘Come into my house,’ said the ant. ‘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.’
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. ‘Winter is coming soon. It’ll be very cold and it’ll snow, too. It’ll be difficult to find any food,’ said the ant. ‘Don’t be silly, my friend,’ laughed the grasshopper. ‘There will be plenty of food in the forest in winter. Let’s sing and play.’
