Scene 1 · Beginner
En sommardag hoppade en gräshoppa runt på ett fält. Den spelade och sjöng. En myra gick förbi på väg hem till sitt bo. Den bar på ett sädesax och fick kämpa med det.
One summer day, a grasshopper was hopping around in a field. It played music and sang. An ant passed by on its way home to its nest. It was carrying an ear of grain and struggling with it.
”Varför jobbar du så hårt?” frågade gräshoppan. ”Kom och prata med mig en stund!”
“Why are you working so hard?” asked the grasshopper. “Come and talk to me for a while!”
”Jag hjälper till att samla mat till vintern”, svarade myran. ”Det borde du också göra.”
“I’m helping gather food for the winter,” replied the ant. “You should do that too.”
Gräshoppan tyckte inte att den behövde tänka på vintern. Det fanns ju gott om mat just då. Myran gick vidare med sitt sädesax och fortsatte att arbeta.
The grasshopper didn’t think it needed to think about winter. After all, there was plenty of food just then. The ant went on its way with its ear of grain and continued working.
