When Mr Grasshopper finished his breakfast, he felt better. “Thank you, Mr Ant, but I must get back to my family now,” he said. “My wife and children are also very weak and sick. I’m afraid we don’t have any food in our house. While you thought about the future and worked hard, I was lazy and thoughtless. Now there isn’t any future for me.” “Oh, I am sorry, Mr Grasshopper,” said Mr Ant. Mr Ant thought he would tell his wife about his friend. “Can we help Mr Grasshopper, dear?” he asked her. “well, I’d like to help your friend,” Mrs Ant replied. “But many of our crops have already been sold in order to buy things like fuel, and to pay for our children’s school fees. Everything’s so expensive nowadays. We’ve enough for ourselves, but we aren’t rich,” Mr Ant agreed. “You’re right, my dear,” he said. “Poor Mr Grasshopper! We can’t help him much.” After some time, the days grew warmer and the earth grew soft, so Mr Ant thought he would start working again in his fields. But where was his friend, Mr Grasshopper, now? Poor Mr Grasshopper wasn’t there. His farm was empty and silent.
