Hello everybody.
Today I'm going to tell you a story.
It's called "The grasshopper and the ant".
Do you know it? I'm sure you do.
But I'm going to change a few things about the story
and you have to pay attention, listen carefully
and tell me what I've changed.
Are you ready? Let's do it.
"Once upon a time,
there was a ladybird and an ant".
Sorry? What did you say?
Oh, right, not a ladybird, okay.
"Once upon a time,
there was a grasshopper and an ant.
Grasshopper was working hard in the summer,
while Ant was resting under the shade of a tree".
A beg your pardon? That's wrong?
Oh, yes, okay.
"One summer Ant was working hard,
while Grasshopper was resting under the shade of a tree
singing his song # chirp, chirp, chirp... #
Grasshopper was laughing at the ant.
He said: 'What are you doing?
It's summer, it's so hot.
It's time to rest and sing, not work hard'.
So, Ant stopped working hard and rested".
What? Is that wrong?
Oh, yes, it is.
"Ant kept on working hard looking for food for winter.
So, winter came
and Grasshopper could easily find food under the snow".
What?
Yes, you're wright indeed.
"Grasshopper couldn't find any food
and he was very hungry.
So, Grasshopper went to Ant's house.
'What did you do during summer?', said Ant.
'Well, day and night I sang songs for the bees,
for the ladybirds, for the worms', said the cricket.
'And, what did you sing?'.
'I sang chirp, chirp.'.
'Well', said the ant,
'If you'd have worked hard instead of laughing at me,
you would have food now for the winter'.
And Ant closed the door".
So, let's change the story for once and for all.
I want Ant to be kind
and share her food with the grasshopper.
So, Ant really said:
"'Grasshopper, I'll share my food with you
and you can sing for all of us in the anthill'.
And they all lived happily ever after".
So, we learned new words in this story, didn't we?
We mentioned bees, ladybirds,
worms, the shade of a tree.
We learned that a grasshopper sings chirp, chirp, chirp...
And we saw that ants live in anthills.
Remember...
See you next time! Bye!
