While ant is working hard to store food and build shelter for the winter, the grasshopper mocks him and spends his days just resting and having fun!

audio story of the ants and the grasshopper

On a bright autumn day, a family of hardworking Ants were busy in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had collected and stored up during the summer. Meanwhile, a starving Grasshopper, carrying his fiddle under his arm, approached the Ants and humbly begged for some food to eat.

The Ants were surprised by the Grasshopper’s request and asked him if he had stored any food for the winter. The Grasshopper replied that he didn’t have any food because he was too busy making music all summer long. The Ants were disappointed by his response and couldn’t understand how someone could waste their time like that.

The Ants had been working tirelessly all summer, preparing for the winter by collecting and storing food. They understood the importance of hard work and preparation, and they couldn’t fathom how someone like the Grasshopper could be so careless and lazy.

When the Grasshopper begged for food, the Ants were not sympathetic. They were frustrated with him for not taking his responsibilities seriously. They even mocked him by telling him to dance since he had spent all summer playing music instead of working hard like they had.

The fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper teaches us that there is a time for work and a time for play. While it is important to enjoy life and have fun, it is also essential to be responsible and work hard to achieve our goals. The Ants represent the value of hard work and preparation, while the Grasshopper represents the consequences of procrastination and laziness.

In our own lives, it’s important to strike a balance between work and play. We should enjoy our lives and pursue our passions, but we should also be responsible and plan for the future. By doing so, we can achieve our goals and live a fulfilling life.

I'm a narrator obsessed with writing and telling children's stories. I believe that in the stories world, everything is much easier to understand, especially for kids.
