hard to collect food for his Queen.

“Oh well, I might go and eat some grass for morning tea,” said the grasshopper. “Then I
will dance and sing.”
❖ .
When the green grasshopper was sitting on green grass, the hungry birds couldn’t see him. Now, he was a green grasshopper sitting on the white snow! The birds might
catch him and take him back to their nests.
❖ .
The ants were under the ground feeding the babies, eating the food and getting fat. They
were having a party! “Yippee! Yahoo!”
❖ .
The grasshopper could hear their little voices from under the snow. “May I please come in?” asked the grasshopper.
❖ .
“You can’t fit down our hole,” said the ant. “You should have been collecting food in the summer instead of
dancing, singing and playing.”
