Once upon a time, there lived an ant and a grasshopper(蟋蟀)in a grass field by a river. The ant would work hard all day long from dawn to dusk 1 the grain. On the other hand, the grasshopper would spend all his time singing and dancing. He would 2 call the ant to join him in singing, dancing and making merry at the present time. However, the ant would 3 him and continue with her work.
Soon summer 4 to autumn and autumn to winter. It became freezing cold outside due to snowfall and the sun was barely seen and the nights were 5 and dark. Out of cold the grasshopper lost his 6 in singing and making merry. He was cold and hungry and had no 7 to take shelter from the snow outside. He wondered how to save himself from this 8situation.
Suddenly he remembered about the ant and decided to 9 her for some food and shelter. Off he went to her place and knocked at her door for 10. When she opened the door, the grasshopper offered to sing for her 11 for some food and shelter.
To this, the ant replied that she had worked hard in summer to save enough 12 for winter and the grasshopper had laughed at her then. She gently asked him to sing somewhere else and 13 his food and shelter. It is then, the grasshopper realised that he should have 14 enough for the winter instead of wasting his time being 15 during summer in singing and dancing around.
