For so on and so forth

   For so on and so forth By Hannah Walker

It all started with a party. All the Grasshoppers where having an insanely loud gathering. “I hope the ants don’t crash the party again!” murmured Steve the Grasshopper. “Knock Knock” someone pounded at door. “Hello?” answered Craig.  “You guys really need to start gathering food for the winter!” nagged Chrissy the ant. “Yah Yah yadda yadda yadda, we know we know!” quibbled Craig. “Okay you guys make fun of us now, but when we’re having a massive Thanksgiving Feast and you guys are fighting over a nut don’t come begging for food!” countered Chrissy  “You wish!” objected Craig  Now at this point I feel like I should intrude and tell you that this is one of the key points in the story. Right now the Ants and the Grasshoppers are fighting over who is right. You probably know that the Ants are right about storing food for the winter, but on the other hand you want to take the Grasshopper’s side and PARTY!!!!! So to get back to the wildly written story lets visit the Ants fort.

“Heave ho!” the Ants were working hard preparing for the brutally harsh winter. “Three party invitations!” miffed Jenny the Ant. “What!” exclaimed Chrissy the Ant. “Chrissy! Throw these away!” seethed Jenny “okay, so does that mean that we won’t go to the party?” hopefully jabbered Chrissy. “Of course it means we won’t go to the party!”  Strictly Barked Jenny. “We have a lot of food to store before we can even think of partying!” “Of course.” bitterly Groaned Chrissy. So Chrissy tore the letter into tiny itsy bitsy pieces (which is very hard for an ant since they don’t have thumbs!).So the winter came and incredibly it broke all the forest records! As the wise ants undeniably predicted it was very cold and almost impossible to find food! The ants had so much food they cockishly started making up silly holidays such as… Feast Day, Make-you-fat day, and break-your diet-day!  They were right in the middle of a new holiday called, I’m fat and I know it day and reading Matthew 25; 40=Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, No matter how unimportant [they seemed],You did for Me.

 Suddenly there was a pleadingly loud pounding at the door. This was significantly made out of acorns and tree bark which was cleverly held together with grass and maple sap. ”Happy I’m fat and I… OH it’s you!” Stammered Chrissy the ant. “Um... We heard you guys were having a 15^th Thanksgiving or something and were wondering if you guys would give us some of your leftovers?” beseeched Craig the Grasshopper. “Uhhh… let me check with Jenny.” Replied Chrissy. “Jenny!” screamed Chrissy. “What’s up… oh? It’s Craig the carelessly rudely acting Grasshopper! Scornfully joked Jenny. “Hi Jenny! Would you lovely ants spare some food for us Grasshoppers?” tensely trembled Craig. “Do you REALLY think that after all the invitations and hurtful teasing that I will REALLY give you food?!” Angrily roared Jenny. “Well I hopefully presumed…” “It’s okay!” giggled Jenny. “Really!” lilted Craig. “Of course we may be strict but that doesn’t mean we’re heartless!” Laughed Jenny. She was right, the ants who in fact were strict were NOT heartless! So to wrap things up the ants and the grasshoppers had the best I’m- fat- and- I –know- it feast. The Grasshoppers triumphantly defeated their I’m-late-and-I-know-it problem!  The next summer the ants AND the grasshoppers worked and neither of them went hungry that winter or the one after that and the one after that and so on and so forth.
