Or we could travel to Japan.” “Or how about Japan?” John said. But no matter how much they talked, they couldn’t change her mind.

It was a beautiful summer day. The sky was so clear and the field was filled with swaying grass and pretty flowers. A happy, green grasshopper with long legs and twitching antennae jumped from a bouncy leaf to twig and grass. He was enjoying the wonderful weather. He sang to himself, as he took in his beautiful voice. Then he saw a small black ant near a tree limb. She was pulling a crust of bread through the leaves. She tugged and pulled, but she felt tired. Then the ant stopped for a moment to rest and she saw the grasshopper. “Why are you doing that?” the grasshopper asked. “What do you bring? You look so ridiculous” he inquired with a laugh. “I’m bringing food to our colony,” the little ant replied. “When winter comes, we will find it difficult to find food. "Winter is a long way off,” the grasshopper said. “I'd rather enjoy this summer” “You might be sorry when the winter comes” the ant warned. “You should plan for your future.” But the grasshopper just laughed and stretched his long legs. He jumped over the leaf and hopped across the long grass, playing, singing, and dancing. The little ant shook her head and went back to work. She pulled the crust of bread and finally she arrived at his nest. The grasshopper saw the ant working nearly every day. And every day he plays and sings. Soon it began to grow cold. The wind was turning cold. The snow was starting to fall. And the grasshopper understood that the ant had been right all along. He made his way to the ant colony and called out, “Ant Help me!! I feel hungry and cold.” But the ants could not hear him. They were busy feasting, and the poor grasshopper jumped to icey twig and icey leaf to find some food.

My wife was called away to New York on business. I took some vacation time and enjoyed with the time. Our two kids were in school during the day, and spent them time in the school. They were old enough to take care of themselves, but I had to keep them any time. John was eleven and spent his time to focus on his study. Anne was ten and enjoyed sports like swimming, volley ball, and badminton. Everything started out smoothly the first day. I cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom. I ironed and took the dog in the cage. And for lunch I made myself fried rice. The kids ate lunch in the canteen , because they were not like my fried rice . At four o’clock I realized that the kids will back from the school, so I decided to cooked for our dinner. I got a recipe book from the shelf and found how to make a salad. It seemed easy enough, although needed many ingredients. I got the ingredients I needed out of the cupboard: . I started with the salad. I rinsed a head of lettuce and then all of vegetable . I sliced all of ingredients and scattered them over the lettuce. But I forgot to add a cucumbar and an onion. I peeled a cucumber and an onion and I sliced it. I sprinkled over the salad and went to place it in the refrigerator. But when I placed the bowl on the shelf in the refrigerator, the shelf broke and the salad was fell on the floor . I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were salad on the floor and on my shoes. I grabbed a broom and cleaned the floor . Then I got a bucket and scrub brush in order to cleaned my shoes . When I was done, I sat down and I thought how to cook simple. The roast looked easier to prepare. I placed it in a large pan and covered it with a pot lid. I sprinkled salt and pepper and let the meat 15 minutes after that put it in the oven. I peeled three potatoes and six asparagus and saoson with garlic butter. Before I put the roast in the oven, I checked the shelf. I didn’t want this acident to happen again. Then I carefully put the roast in the oven and I finally manage to make the roast. For dessert I made vanilla ice cream with chocolate. That was Anne’s favorite, and John . I put the three bowls of dessert on the counter. About four-thirty meanutes. They went to their rooms to decorated like a restaurant . I set the table and then called Me. They hurried into the kitchen and took their seats. John was hungry, and Anne called me . But something had gone wrong. I hadn’t put the dessert in the refrigerator, and the dessert melted! And I had forgotten to turn on the oven, so the roast not edible ! The kids looked sad and feel hungry . So we got in the car, and I took them to the restauran for dinner . We all love tacos and fajitas
