Question

The Grasshopper and the Ants

Grasshopper spent the summer dancing, singing, relaxing, and playing. The ants looked at Grasshopper disgustedly. "It's fun now, but you'll regret your laziness. You should be gathering and storing food for winter like us."

Grasshopper ignored them. Before he knew it, though, summer was over and the air was crisp and cold. The food had disappeared, and Grasshopper was very hungry. "I should have listened to the ants," he said to himself.

The Little Red Hen

One day, Little Red Hen found a wheat seed and decided to plant it. She asked her friends for help, but they all declined, so she planted it herself. Each day, as her friends played and relaxed, Little Red Hen watered the seed.

When it was time to harvest the wheat and take it to the mill to be ground into flour, she again worked alone. Not surprisingly, Little Red Hen's friends were also to lazy to help make bread from the flour. It was not until the aroma of freshly baked bread wafted out her window that Little Red Hen's friends showed up. They wanted to eat the bread, but Little Red Hen wouldn't let them. "I did the work alone, so I shall eat alone," she clucked.

Which of these happens ONLY in The Grasshopper and the Ants?
a
gathering food
b
baking
c
working together
d
cleaning

Answer 1

c — working together.

In The Grasshopper and the Ants the ants work together to gather and store food; in The Little Red Hen the hen does all the tasks herself and her friends refuse to help.
