Scene 1 · Beginner
En sommerdag hoppede en græshoppe rundt på en mark og sang. En myre kom forbi med et kornaks. Det var svært for myren at bære det hele vejen hjem til de andre myrer.
One summer day, a grasshopper hopped around a field and sang. An ant came by carrying an ear of grain. It was hard for the ant to carry it all the way home to the other ants.
»Hvorfor arbejder du så hårdt? Kom og snak med mig,« sagde græshoppen.
“Why are you working so hard? Come and talk to me,” said the grasshopper.
»Jeg hjælper med at samle mad til vinteren,« svarede myren. »Det skulle du også gøre.«
“I’m helping gather food for the winter,” replied the ant. “You should do that too.”
»Hvorfor tænke på vinteren? Vi har jo masser af mad lige nu!« sagde græshoppen. Men myren gik videre med sit kornaks.
“Why think about winter? We have plenty of food right now!” said the grasshopper. But the ant kept going with its ear of grain.
