  7. How about this one? Weary in every limb, the ant tugged over the snow a piece of corn he has stored up last summer. It would taste mighty good at dinner tonight. • A grasshopper, cold and hungry, looked on. Finally he could bear it no longer. “Please, friend ant, may I have a bite of corn?” • “What were you doing all last summer?” asked the ant. He looked the grasshopper up and down. He knew its kind. • “I sang from dawn till dusk,” replied the grasshopper, happily unaware of what was coming next. “Well,” said the ant, hardly bothering to conceal his contempt. “Since you sang all summer, you can dance all winter.
