⑨The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs.The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood.
⑩“Ant, it's too windy to work!" said the grasshopper. “Come and sing with me!"
“No, thanks, Grasshopper. There's just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter."
And then the cold winter came. The ant sat at home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door.
"Oh, dear Ant," said the grasshopper, “you must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!"
“Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!"

Further thinking
What lesson can you learn from the fable
Make a list of your ideas and share them with a partner.
1. Work before play.
The ant prepared while the grasshopper played.
2. Be responsible for yourself.
Don’t expect(期望) others to save you.
Laziness has consequences.
No food in winter = hunger
Ant’s Wisdom:"If I work hard in summer, I will eat well in winter."
Grasshopper’s Regret:"If I only sing today, I’ll starve tomorrow."
Prepare today for tomorrow’s needs.
Don’t play when you should work!

And then the cold winter came.And then the old winter came. The grasshopper had no food and felt very sick. He went to the ant's house for help.
The ant saw the grasshopper and felt sorry for him. She let him in and gave him some food.
The ant said, "You should work next summer."
"I will. Thank you for your kindness," said the grasshopper. He learned that it's important to work hard and also to be kind.

And then the cold winter came.And then the old winter came. The grasshopper was hungry, but he had an idea. He went to the ant.
"I know I didn't work," he said. "But I can sing. Your family can work during the day, and I can sing for you in the evening. It will be fun!"
The ant thought it was a good idea. So the ant shared her food, and the grasshopper sang beautiful songs. They learned that helping each other is good.
