4 - 8 years old
On a warm, humming afternoon, an ant marched across the meadow, carrying one shiny seed at a time.
“Why not rest and sing?” called the grasshopper, strumming his leaf fiddle. “Winter’s far away! Let’s enjoy this sunshine.”
The ant smiled but kept walking. “Winter always comes sooner than you think,” he said, stacking his seeds.
Days passed. The meadow glowed gold. Every ant hurried, grains, crumbs, dew drops,while the grasshopper played tune after tune beneath the tall grass.
Butterflies twirled to his songs; bees buzzed in time. The grasshopper laughed, “Work can wait!”
Then, one morning, the air turned sharp. Leaves curled. The first snowflake landed on the grasshopper’s nose.
The meadow grew silent. No flowers, no food, no warm wind—only white drifts and cold ground.
The grasshopper shivered beneath a bare stem. His fiddle lay quiet. He thought of the ant’s steady steps and the full little home underground.
Gathering his courage, he knocked on the ant’s door. “Friend,” he said softly, “I…I should have listened.”
The ant opened the door. Warm light spilled out. He saw the grasshopper’s tired eyes. “Come in,” he said. “But tell me—what will you do when spring returns?”
The grasshopper thought for a long moment. “I’ll still play,” he said slowly, “but between songs, I’ll work too.”
The ant smiled and poured a bowl of grain. “Then we understand each other now.”
Inside the burrow, the two friends shared food and warmth. Outside, snow drifted softly like quiet music.
When spring came, the grasshopper played again— but this time near the ants, helping gather seeds between songs.
And from then on, the meadow was full of cheer— busy feet, lively music, and a friendship built on work and joy together.
