One warm, sunny day, a grasshopper was bounding through the fields. He was happy, and sang a song as he jumped. As he got tired, he decided to lay down on a warm rock in the sunshine and watch the clouds.<\/span>
\nJust then, an ant passed by, working very hard to carry an ear of corn to his nest. The grasshopper was so enjoying his day that he called out to the ant, \u201cHey! Why are you working so hard? It\u2019s a beautiful day! Come enjoy the sunshine with me!\u201d<\/span>
\nThe ant called back, \u201cWe need to store food for the winter. In not so many days, it will be cold, and we will be hungry.\u201d<\/span>
\nThe grasshopper thought that was silly. \u201cWhy, there\u2019s plenty of food!\u201d he cried. He went back to lazing in the sunshine. The ant shook his head, and went back to work.<\/span>
\nThe next day, it was again sunny and the grasshopper decided to visit the riverside. He bounded from leaf to leaf over the crisp cool water, not a care in the world. Once again, he saw the ant pass by. This time, the ant was carrying a large leaf. The grasshopper called out again, \u201cHello friend! Why are you working so hard again today? Come sit in the shade and enjoy the sound of the river!\u201d<\/span>
\nOnce again, the ant refused. \u201cThese pretty days are not so many, Grasshopper. Soon, the cold will come. We must be ready.\u201d The ant returned to his work.<\/span>
\nOn the third day, when the grasshopper awoke, the sun was not shining. It was not warm. Winter had come overnight, and the ground was frozen and covered with snow. The grasshopper shivered. And as he looked for food to eat, he found nothing.<\/span>
\nHe walked for hours through the snow, searching for food and shelter. As he walked, he passed the ant\u2019s nest. Inside, he saw ants warm and happy, and sharing a delicious looking meal. It was then that he understood that the ant was right all along \u2013 not all days are sunny.<\/span>
\nThe ant turned then and saw the grasshopper freezing and hungry. He felt pity for the poor grasshopper. \u201cCome, friend,\u201d he called. \u201cThere is room here, and there is food. I\u2019ve saved enough for many seasons. Come in and eat.\u201d<\/span>
\nAnd so the grasshopper was welcomed into the ant\u2019s home, and the ant\u2019s preparations kept the ant, his family, and the grasshopper warm and fed the whole winter long<\/span>
