Pre- reading
Class, as you can see in the black board we have

read the story.
The Ant and The Grasshopper

One bright day in late autumn a
family of Ants were bustling about in the
warm sunshine, drying out the grain they
had stored up during the summer, when a
starving Grasshopper, his fi ddle under his
arm, came up and humbly begged for a
bite to eat.
” What!" cried the Ants in surprise,
"haven't you stored anything away for
the winter? What in the world were you
doing all last summer?""I didn't have
ti me to store up any food," whined the
Grasshopper; "I was so busy making
music that before I knew it the summer
was gone.
“The Ants shrugged their shoulders
in disgust. “Making music, were you?"
they cried. "Very well; now dance!" And
they turned their backs on the
Grasshopper and went on with their
work.
There’s a ti me for work and a ti me for
play.
