One fine sunny day in winter, a grasshopper was basking in
the warm sun. While basking he felt very hungry as he had not
eaten anything since the previous night.
So, he looked around in order to find something to soothe his
hunger. Suddenly , he saw few ants carrying grains into their
holes.
basking : enjoying
soothe : relieve
suddenly : happening quickly
humbly : in a gentle manner

He went up to the ants and humbly asked, “Can you please
spare a few grains for me? I haven’t eaten anything since
yesterday. So, I am almost starving to death.”
