One summer day an ant was working hard. But a grasshopper was sitting on the tree and playing guitar. "Hey, ant. Why are you working so hard? Take a break. Your world seems to be all work and no play. How about going to travel with me?" said the grasshopper. "I don't think so. The harder I work, the more I'll get." said the ant. "No, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!" Grasshopper stressed the importance of relaxation and started his journey. He went anywhere his feet took him playing guitar and singing a song. Winter came and a cold wave swept the town. It was so cold that ant would be freezing. Grasshopper returned to his hometown and went to the ant's house. "I know the nice place we can live. Don't you want to go there, too?" said the grasshopper. Ant was afraid of separation of familiarity, but decided to go along with the grasshopper. They arrived at the new land, 1) Insectopia. Warm weather was surrounding there and there were many insects playing musical instruments, drinking wine, napping under the big tree and reading books. Their hometown was frozen that night. Grasshopper saved ant's life, and changed his sight.
1) The compound word "Insectopia" is formed from the words "insect" and "utopia."
