Narrator -Once upon a time there was a cicada which lived in a cottage up a mountain.
This cicada loved singing, dancing and playing around all the time. She did nothing but enjoy herself and have a good time. In the same mountain, there was also an ant but her neighbour was very different to her: she worked and worked all the time.
Summer passed by and winter came
Cicada- Ooh, I am cold …it’s so cold inside here and I am so hungry. I have nothing to eat any more. I finished everything I had. I will go and see if my neighbour Miss ant can give me something to eat.
Narrator-… and Miss Cicada went to Miss Ant’s home
Cicada- Miss Ant, Miss Ant. Can you open the door, please?
Ant- Who are you? It’s very cold to go out from home
Cicada- It’s me, Miss Ant; it’s Miss Cicada. I am cold and I am hungry
Ant (OPENING THE DOOR)- Aha, here you are!. And what do you want?
Cicada- I would like to know if you could give something to eat and some wood for my fireplace because I finished everything I had.
Ant- So you don’t have any more wood or food?
Cicada- No, I finished with everything
Ant- Miss Cicada, I would like to help you but I have to take care of my family so I can’t give you anything
Cicada- Please, please help me Miss Ant; if you don’t help me I will die of hunger and cold
Ant- Do you remember last summer? What were you doing last summer Miss Cicada?
Cicada- I sang and danced and swam and had a siesta everyday.
