🐜🎻 The Ant and the Grasshopper

☀️ NARRATOR:
It was a sunny summer day.
The grass was green. The sky was blue.
The grasshopper played music all day long.

🎻 NARRATOR:
He sang songs and played his violin.
He was happy and free.

🎵 GRASSHOPPER (singing):
“La la la! Summer is fun!”

🌾 NARRATOR:
But not far away, the ant was working hard.
She carried food, one piece at a time.

🐜 ANT:
“I must get ready. Winter is coming.”

🌞 NARRATOR:
The grasshopper laughed when he saw the ant.

🎻 GRASSHOPPER:
“Why work so hard? Come and play with me!”

🐜 ANT:
“No, thank you. I need food for the cold days.”

🍂 NARRATOR:
Time passed.
Summer turned to fall.
The leaves turned yellow.
The ant kept working.
The grasshopper kept playing.

❄️ NARRATOR:
Then… winter came.
The wind blew. The snow fell.

🌨️ The ant was warm in her home.
She had food to eat.

But the grasshopper was cold and hungry.

🏚️ NARRATOR:
He had no food. He had no warm house.

🎻 GRASSHOPPER (shivering):
“Oh no… I’m so cold… I’m so hungry…”

🚪 NARRATOR:
He knocked on the ant’s door.

🐜 ANT:
“Hello, Grasshopper. Why are you here?”

🎻 GRASSHOPPER:
“I didn’t save food. I didn’t get ready for winter.”

🤝 NARRATOR:
The ant gave him some food and said:

🐜 ANT:
“Next time, work first. Then play.”

🌈 NARRATOR (ending):
The grasshopper learned a lesson that day:
There is a time to play, and a time to work.

THE END.
