Read the Passage and Answer the Questions
Ants and grasshoppers were neighbours. They
were totally different from each other. The ant and
his family members were hard workers and
disciplined. They worked hard throughout the day
‘They collected rice, sugar, flour etc. every day. After
eating as per their requirements they stored the rest
for bad weather. They did not waste their time in idle
gossiping and roaming aimlessly. On the other hand
the grasshopper and his family members wasted their
time in idle gossiping, attending the clubs, dancing
and singing. They did not do hard work. They did
not store food for the bad weather. They were always
laughing at the industrious ants. Last year it was @
severe cold during winters. Ants and grasshoppers
could not go out in search of food. Grasshoppers
were not having stored eatables. Mr. Grasshopper
said to Mr. Ant "Could you give us something to eat
My family members are starving”, Mr. Ant said "I
could have given you but my family memebers have
worked day and night for storing the food for bad
weather. What were you and your family members
doing in the fine weather?" Mr. Grass-hopper replied,
“We kept on dancing and singing during fine
‘weather. Mr. Ant said, "Now go and spend winters
too in dancing and singing.” Remembers that hard
‘work cannot be done easily, but the result of the hard
work is always good.”
