The Grasshopper and The Ant
- 1. The Grasshopper and The Ant
- 2. The Grasshopper and The Ant The Grasshopper, singing All summer long, Now found winter stinging, And ceased in his song. Not a morsel or crumb in his cupboard-- So he shivered, and ceased in his song. Miss Ant was his neighbor; To her he went: "O, you're rich from labor, And I've not a cent. Lend me food, and I vow I'll return it, Though at present I have not a cent." Cease Parar Morsel Bocado Crumb Miga Shiver Tiritar Vow Jurar
- 3. The Ant's not a lender, I must confess. Her heart's far from tender To one in distress. So she said: "Pray, how passed you the summer, That in winter you come to distress?” "I sang through the summer," Grasshopper said. "But now I am glummer Because I've no bread." "So you sang!" sneered the Ant. "That relieves me. Now it's winter-go dance for your bread!“ Tender Tierno In distress En apuros Glummer Triste Sneer Burlarse Relieve Aliviar
