Once there was a grasshopper who lived in a patch of grass. He liked to hop around and sing all day. He was very happy in his patch.
One day, the grasshopper decided to go for a hop around outside his patch. He hopped slowly towards the sun. He stopped to rest in the shade of a tree.
Suddenly, the grasshopper heard a loud noise. It was the noise of a truck coming down the road. The grasshopper was scared, so he quickly hopped back to his patch.
He hopped in a big circle around his patch, pausing to rest every few jumps. As he jumped, he noticed that the grass was getting dry and patchy. The grasshopper was sad. He wanted to help his patch get green again.
With a slow hop, the grasshopper took some of the dry patches and put them together, like a patchwork quilt. He watered the patch with a few drops of dew.
Soon, the grasshopper's patch of grass was green and lush again. The grasshopper was so happy. He hopped around, singing and playing for the rest of the day.
