One day, a grasshopper (蚱蜢) was relaxing in a field. And he was eating as much grass as he could. When his stomach was 1 , he began to play some music. He was having a good time in the sun.
Then, an ant walked by. He was 2 some corn.
"Come and sing with me!" said the grasshopper.
"No," said the ant. "I am busy 3 food for the winter."
"Don't be serious about the 4 !" said the grasshopper. "There's lots of food now and it is sunny today."
5 the ant went on his way and kept on collecting food.
"How silly the ant is!" said the grasshopper. "He only needs to 6 winter when winter comes!"
When winter came, the grasshopper had 7 food. But the ant and his family had plenty to 8 .
"Could I have some of your food?" said the grasshopper.
"Hum…" said the ant. "9 you said I was silly, I'll still help you."
Hearing his words, the grasshopper was very thankful. At the same time, he was 10 for what he had done before. He learnt a very important lesson—working hard today is to get ready for tomorrow.
