John and Mary wanted to take a vacation. They had worked hard all year and hoped that they can vacation. But where 115 should they go? To Mexico or to India? “I want to go to Mexico,” Mary said. “I heard it’s a good idea and I hoped you agree with me.” “I think I’d like to go to India,” John replied. “I want to see Tajmahal and Bollywood.” “India is so far away,” Mary said to him. “I think imposible if we take a vacation to India. 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. John believed that take a vacation to Japan is a good idea, but Mary wanted take a vacation to India. How could they decide what would be best for both of them? John opened the newspaper and saw the article. He showed Mary the article, and she was amazed by the interesting vacation spots in the article. “That sounds like fun,” Mary said. “I’d love take a vacation in here.” “We could swim during the day, and at night, watch the sunrise or sunset,” John said. “And we could go shopping in the market and buy small gifts.” Mary was happy with the idea, because she likes beach and take a vacation in beach is her dream. John wouldn’t mind spending time at the beach, because he knew his wife’s happiness is everything. But there still was a problem. “how about the cost, dear?” Mary suddenly asked. “Do we have enough in the bank?” John thought a moment, and then he walked towards the desk drawer. He opened the desk drawer and took a lot of many. He showed Mary about him money, but she is worry. John smiled at her and said, “Don’t worry. It’s enough to take a vacation to the beach. And if it’s not enough, we can take our savings in the bank.” “Oh, John,” Mary said happily. “Now, we must prepare. This vacation will be ready .” Then he kissed her cheek, because he really loves his wife.

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.
