THE GRASSHOPPER AND A LITTLE ANT
A lazy grasshopper laughed at a little ant as she was always busy gathering food.
"why are you working so hard?" he asked, "come into the sunshine and listen to
my merry notes."
"But the ant went on her work. She said" I am lying in a store forthe winter.
Sunny days won't last forever."
"Winter is so far away yet, "laughed the grasshopper back.
And when the winter came, the ant settled down in her snug house. She had
plenty of foodto last the whole winter. The grasshopper had nothing to eat so, he
went to the ant and begged her fora little corn.
"No", replied the ant, "you laughed at me when I worked. You yourself sang
through the summer. So you had better dance the winter away."
THE DREAMY MILK-MAID
A milk-maid had been to the meadow to milk her cows. Now she was returning home with a
pail of milk on her head.
She thought, "I will make cream and butter out of this milk. Then selling them, I will buy
eggs. And when they hatch, I shall have a good poultry farm."
She further thought, "I shall sell some of my fowls and buy a fine dress. Seeing it on my body
at the fair, all the boys will admire me. The pail of milk tumbled down. But I will turn them
away just tossing my head at them."
Lost in day dreams, she forgot about the pail on her head. She tossed her head with a jerk
and the pail of milk came tumbling down. It was broken and all the milk got spilt.
"Dear O dear !" she cried, "I have lost my all."
