________(1) an artist, and as everyone ________(2), artists are usually rather poor. Normally, I ________(3) about that. When the sun is shining, I sit on my favourite blade of
grass and ________(4) music for everyone to ________(5) to. I have lots of friends, and
together we’ve formed an orchestra.
Everyone ________(6) our music and ________(7) how cheerful it ________(7) them feel – well almost everyone. There’s a family of ants who ________(8) to listen. They ________(9) themselves far too seriously for music or enjoyment. All they do is work, work, work – even when the sun is shining.

time to stop,” one of them said, panting away. “________(12) far too busy stocking up
food for winter.”

that I couldn’t even sing. A hard frost was on the ground, and there wasn’t a
crumb to ________(13). I was so hungry! So I went to ________(14) that busy family of ants and
said: “Please Sirs, ________(15) a poor starving musician. Spare me a few crumbs from
your store of food.”
________(16) you know what? Those ants just turned their noses up at me. They were so stingy
that they wouldn’t ________(17) any of their food. Oh well, I’ll just have to ________(18) hungry this winter. In the New Year, I’ll make a resolution. When the times ________(19) good, I’ll ________(20) to ________(21)some food for a rainy day.
