The Ant and the Grasshopper Bedtime Stories for Kids in English

 

once upon a time while the summer was
still blooming the animals living in the
forest the birds and the insects we're
making the most of the summer and of
course they had no trouble finding food
it was an ordinary day for the lazy
grasshopper he was eating the roots of
the herbs he had picked whilst playing
the violin and singing under a tree and
I don't know the rest of the words to
the song but it's okay when he finished
his ear bleeding song he heard a noise
and listened carefully in order to
understand where and who the noise was
coming from he quickly jumped up high
onto the branches of the tree and right
there he saw from a distance an ant
trail they were marching like soldiers
with great difficulty the ants word
carrying seeds and dry fruits they had
fallen off from the trees
the grasshopper jumped to the ground and
as confused as he was he watched the
trail of ants disappear I never seem to
get these ants they're always working
right at that moment he noticed an ant
coming his way
the ad was trying to carry a seed much
bigger than himself
just as he was passing the grasshopper
the ant dropped the seed he was carrying
in fact he needed to rest the
grasshopper stared at him with
meaningless eyes are you moving
somewhere now don't tell me there's a
big disaster approaching is that why
you're running away now well then may I
ask what you're doing we are caring for
our nests righty-o you must be expecting
a lot of visitors tonight then hmm
we are sorry fort for winter you're
storing food for to wear what for and
besides why do rush there's still a long
time for winter have fun just make the
most out of the summer he's got some so
what do you suggest we do for winter I'm
sure we'll find something fun to do
don't worry
don't ever think about it's fun
what will we eat I'm asking you I'll
think about that when winter starts now
it's summer and there's plenty to eat
everywhere the aunt had enough listening
to the lazy grasshoppers and nonsense
and tried to put the seed on his back
once again I must keep up with my
friends will they help me to put the
seat on my back a singer and an artist
like me shouldn't carry such heavy
things after hearing such an answer from
the grasshopper the ant gave the
grasshopper a rather interesting look
and continued to try and put the seed on
his back I suppose I could give you a
little help
the grasshopper picked up the rather
small seed off the ground and placed it
on the ants back the end thanked him and
continued on his way water uses an empty
effort the grasshopper continued to lay
under the tree after having something
small to eat he continued to play his
violin Oh
plain sink along with my violin and so I
couldn't make at that moment the instant
the grasshopper stopped his singing
he took a glance at the squirrel grabbed
his violin and he took off they don't
know how to appreciate an artist in this
forest as the hot summer days continued
the ants continued on carrying food to
their nests
while the grasshopper continued to eat
walk around have fun playing his violin
and sing finally the cold winter had
arrived
one morning when the ants woke up they
had a look outside from their nests and
so that everything was covered in white
snow all the little ant could think of
what's the other animals living in the
cold freezing and hungry on the other
hand due to all the plants being covered
with snow
the grasshopper hadn't eaten a single
thing for days he was shivering had lost
all this strength and wasn't able to
play the violin or sing with great
strength who was trying to walk on the
snow suddenly he thought about the hot
summer days
how nice were those days everywhere was
covered in food I had a full stomach I
was always happy at that moment he
thought about the end he carried food to
his nest all summer long later he
realized he didn't like this idea he had
made fun out of him during the summer
would he help him now he wondered and
now it was way too cold for the
grasshopper to walk it's no time to be
proud I have to find the ants nest and
ask for help
he head straight to the ants nest he
stood in front of the tool and yelled
please help however from the nest he
heard a noise
the grasshopper with his last strength
answered my dear friend and it's me
grasshopper please take me by this time
hearing all that was being said the
Queen and approached the little end
what's going on who once held just a
lazy grasshopper that sees her on sins
although my queen I think he's hungry
and seeks help anyone who ends up at our
doorstep and seeks help should not be
rejected
the Queen and all the other ants
approached the front door of the nest
and opened it
the grasshopper was there lying down on
the snow because he had no strength
anymore the ants immediately picked the
grasshopper up and carried him into the
nest
the grasshopper came to himself thanks
to the warmth of their nest they gave
him water and food now he was feeling
much better
the grasshopper thanked the Queen and
walked next to the little ant I have
been very unfair to you while you were
rocking all summer long I sat down and
just saying and actually you warned me
but I did not take you seriously
I regret that this should be a big
lesson for you we also would like to
have fun all summer long but we do have
to think about the future too if we did
not get a food during summer we might
have been in the same position as you
the grasshopper stayed in their nest for
a while he was now much better and
healthier when it was time to go the
ants gave the grasshopper some food
thank you for everything you said my
life and I will never forget that and I
will never be lazy from now on can I ask
for a favor
sure tell me what do you like when it's
summer you can take music lessons learn
to play the violin and make all the
other animals happy maybe
if snow-white wouldn't have eaten the
Apple the old lady had given her if
Cinderella would have forgotten about
midnight and kept on dancing with the
prince
if the Little Mermaid wouldn't have
rescued the prince from the sinking ship
and of Hansel and Gretel would have not
entered the cake house was the Little
Red Riding Hood wouldn't have told the
wolf where she was going
none of these fairy tales would have
existed they took us to exciting
adventures on magical lands we have
never seen they raced against evil
sometimes and sometimes it was against
time they showed us the true meaning of
passion love friendship helpfulness
sharing and being a family we cried
together
we laugh together but in the end we
always learn something
full of the most beloved and beautiful
