  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    Read the passage given below carefully and answer the question that follows:

    A lazy grasshopper laughed at a little ant as she was always busy gathering food. “Why are you working so hard?” he asked, “come into the sunshine and listen to my cheerful song.” But the ant went on with her work. She said, “I am lining a store for the winter. Sunny days will not last forever.” “Winter is so far away yet.” laughed back the grasshopper. When the winter came, the ant settled down in her cozy house. She had plenty of food to last the whole winter. The grasshopper had nothing to eat so; he went to the ant and begged her for a little corn. “No”, replied the ant, “you laughed at me when I worked. You yourself sang through the summer. So, you better dance the winter away.” Therefore, idleness is a curse.
