Once upon a time, there was a little cricket. The cricket had smooth wings. He liked to play all day. One day, he met a big ant.
"Hello, ant," said the cricket. "Do you want to play with me?"
"No," said the ant. "I must work. If I do not work, I will be punished."
The cricket did not want the ant to be punished. So, he helped the ant work. They moved food and cleaned their home. They worked hard all day.
At the end of the day, the ant thanked the cricket. "Thank you for helping me," said the ant. "Now I will not be punished."
The cricket was happy to help. They became good friends. And they played together when their work was done.
