BR 1-13: The Ant and the Grasshopper

I read The Ant and the Grasshopper, because I wasn't familiar with this story. It is one of Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories first told in Ancient Greece around 4,000 years ago. The stories always have a "moral" at the end.
Of course, the main characters are an ant and a grasshopper.
One day in summer, grasshopper sings in the sun. But ant works. "Play with me," says grasshopper. "I can't," says ant. Ant preperes for winter, but grasshopper doesn't. Ant thinks that grasshopper will be hungry in winter.
And, winter comes. Ant is very happy, but grasshopper is cold and very hungry. "Come inside," says ant. Grasshopper enters in ant's house. "Next summer I'll work too." says grasshopper!
Grasshopper learns that it is best to be prepared.

I could know about ant and grasshopper.
And, Ant is hard worker and very kind Grasshopper is optimistic. I want to have character like ant and grasshopper! ha ha

It is good story. I want you to read it!
