The Ant and the GrasshopperOne day a grasshopper came3 upon4 an ant at work in a garden. "Good day,"said5 the grasshopper. "It is a beautiful day, is it not?""Yes,"said the ant. "But the days will not stay as2 beautiful as they are now.""Justso!"said the grasshopper. "One must eat and be happy when one can. How is it, then, that you work when you could6 be playing?""Cold days are coming,"said the ant. "If I work now, I can eat and be happy when bad times are upon us."The grasshopper laughed at the little ant and went on his way. By and by the days turned cold. First the rains fell7, and then the snow. The grasshopper could not find anything to eat. "Oh, me!"cried he, as he thought8 of the little ant. "I was9 wrong to laugh at her."A little work when times are good is a big help when times are bad.came upon 遇见 grasshopper 蚱蜢蚂蚁和蚱蜢一天，蚱蜢碰到了一只正在花园里干活的蚂蚁。“你好，”蚱蜢说，“今天天气真不错，不是吗？”“是的，”蚂蚁说，“但天气不会总是像现在这么好的。”“确实如此！”蚱蜢回答，“我们应该在能吃的时候吃，能开心的时候开心。那么，你在本来可以玩的时候却干活，是怎么回事呢？”“寒冷的日子快来了。”蚂蚁说，“如果我现在干活，那么当糟糕的日子来临时，我就可以吃，可以开心了。”蚱蜢嘲笑着那只小蚂蚁，还是我行我素。渐渐的，天变冷了。开始下雨了，然后下雪。蚱蜢找不到任何吃的东西。“哦，天啊！”当他想起那只小蚂蚁时，他叫到，“我以前还嘲笑她，是我错了。”境遇好的时候做一点工作，在境遇不好时，会是很大的帮助。2
