The Grasshopper

Once upon a time, there lived a grasshopper. This grasshopper was very upset with the world around him. He felt like everything around him was sad and bad. Everywhere he looked, he saw people being mean and doing wrong things. It made him feel very unhappy. "I can't stay here anymore," he thought. "I need to find a new place to live, far away from all these bad things."

The grasshopper believed everyone hated him because he tried to be good. He thought everyone, even the animals and little birds, didn't like him and talked badly about him. He felt very alone and misunderstood. "No one appreciates me," he sighed. "Maybe they'll realize how good I was only when I'm gone."

One day, as the grasshopper was feeling sad, a friend of his, another grasshopper, noticed how unhappy he looked. "Hey, why are you so upset?" asked his friend. "Why don't you just enjoy the beautiful fields around you? You can't change the whole world, but you can still be happy here."

But the sad grasshopper didn't listen. He was determined to leave. "You don't understand," he replied. "I need to find a place where I can be at peace."

So, the grasshopper left his home and started his journey. He flew and hopped for two whole days, looking for a perfect place. Finally, he found a new field with tall wheat stalks waving gently in the wind. "This is perfect," he thought. "I can be safe and happy here."

The grasshopper settled into his new home and felt relieved. He found a cozy spot among the wheat and fell asleep, dreaming of a peaceful life. But the next morning, he was woken up by the sound of laughter and singing. Some farmers had come to the field to harvest the wheat.

The farmers were cheerful as they worked, but the grasshopper felt scared. "Oh no!" he cried. "I thought I was safe here, but now more trouble has found me."

The farmers' tools cut down the tall wheat stalks, revealing the grasshopper's hiding place. One of the farmers noticed the tiny creature looking so sad and frightened. He gently picked up the grasshopper and said, "Little friend, you seem to be having a tough time. Why don't you go over to that beautiful garden with lots of flowers? You'll find plenty of food and a safe place to rest."

The farmer carried the grasshopper to a nearby garden full of colorful flowers. He placed him gently among the blooms and said, "Go, little friend, and find your supper here."

The grasshopper looked around and saw the beautiful flowers and felt the warmth of the sun. He realized that maybe the world wasn't so bad after all. He just needed to look for the good things and not let his worries take over.
