Scene I

Story - Teller: It is summer now. The day is hot and sunny. An Ant is working near its little house.

Ant: Oh, how hot it is. I am very tired. But I must work. Winter will come soon.

Story - Teller: And who is coming here? It is a Grasshopper.

Grasshopper: How do you do, Ant? What are you doing?

Ant: How do you do, Grasshopper? I am working.

Grasshopper: Why are you working? The day is hot. Stop working. Let`s lie in the sun.

Ant: No, no. Winter come soon. Where shall I get food then?

Grasshopper: Winter will not come soon. It is summer now. It is so nice in the fields. Let`s go to the river.

Ant: No, I can`t. And what do you do all the time?

Grasshopper: I dance and sing all day long. Let`s dance and sing together.

Ant: No, no. I have no time to dance and sing. The winter is long and cold. I must be ready for it.

Grasshopper: I don`t like winter. I like summer. Look how I can dance. (Dancing.) I don`t like to work in summer.

Ant: But you must! What will you eat in winter?

Grasshopper: I don`t want to think of winter. Good - bye, Ant. I willll sing and dance.

Goes away, dancing.

Ant: Good - bye, Grasshopper. You don`t want to work now. You will have nothing to eat in winter.

Scene II

Story - Teller: It is winter now. It is very cold. The sun doesn`t shine. The Grasshopper is cold and hungry.

Grasshopper: Oh, how cold it is. I am cold and hungry. What can I do? Oh, here is Ant`s house.

He knocks at the door.

Ant (comes out): Who is there

Grasshopper: It`s your friend, the Grasshopper.

Ant: What do you want?

Grasshopper: Let me in, please. I am cold and hungry. Give me something to eat.

Ant: You danced and sang all summer, Grasshopper. Now dance and sing all winter. Good - bye!

He closes the door.

The Grasshopper drops his head and goes away shivering and crying bitterly.

Story - Teller: You see, children, what happens, when you do not want to work in time.

Ant (out of the window): All right! Come in! That’s will be a lesson for you. Will you work in summer?

Grasshopper: Oh, I am ready to work even in winter! Thank you, my dear friend!
