🌿 The Story: The Bragging Grasshopper

🐞 A Proud Little Grasshopper

In a sunny meadow full of buzzing bees, fluttering butterflies, and whispering grass, lived a grasshopper named Gregor.

Gregor was proud. Too proud. He would hop from one leaf to another, chirping loudly and calling out:

“Look at me jump! No one can leap like me! I am the best in the meadow!”

He laughed at the beetles. He made fun of the ants. He even scoffed at the butterflies.

“Why fly when you can jump as high as the clouds?” he bragged.

🐜 The Hardworking Ants

One morning, Gregor saw a group of ants carrying crumbs and seeds.

“What a boring life!” Gregor chuckled. “You work too hard! Why not sing and hop like me?”

An old ant replied kindly, “We are storing food for the winter, Gregor. You should think ahead.”

But Gregor just laughed. “Winter? I live in the moment! Who needs to plan?”

And off he hopped, chirping songs and doing flips in the sun.

❄️ Winter Comes

Seasons changed. The air turned chilly. Snow began to fall on the meadow.

The flowers wilted. The insects disappeared into their burrows. Gregor was cold. And worse—he was hungry.

He hopped slowly through the snow, shivering and weak.

“Where is everyone?” he cried. “Why didn’t I listen?”

🏡 A Warm Lesson

Gregor knocked on the ants’ underground home.

The old ant opened the door. “Gregor?” he said with surprise.

“I… I’m cold and hungry,” Gregor stammered. “Can I come in?”

The ant welcomed him warmly. “Of course. Come learn why it’s better to work quietly than boast loudly.”

Gregor stayed the winter with the ants. He helped clean, listened to stories, and slowly realized that kindness and hard work were more beautiful than pride.
