________(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.
“Hey You Ants,” I said to them. “________(10) a lovely summer’s day. Why don’t you ________(11) your feet for a while, and listen to my sweet music?”
“No
time to stop,” one of them said, panting away. “________(12) far too busy stocking up
food for winter.”
The
months went by, and the days got shorter and colder. I was shivering so much
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.

Some
people _______(1) that rats are ugly creatures. When they _______(2) a rat
running along, they _______(3) ee-yuck! Well I don’t _______(4) about you, but
I’ve always thought that this was rather rude. Rats can _______(5) hurt
feelings too you know! In any case, when I _______(6) sight of my reflection in
a stream, I think I’m rather cute.
Just
recently, I was trotting along the King’s Highway, in my sweet little way, when
I _______(7) a great commotion on the road up ahead. Who or what is causing all
that fuss? I _______(8).
When
I got closer, I _______(9) the King himself, riding along on top of a great fat
lump of an elephant. The crowd of onlookers were ooo-ing and aah-ing full of
admiration for that stupid beast with a nose that’s far too big for her face.
She’s much uglier than me, I _______(10). So I _______(11) to spring up and
down and say: “Hey everyone! Why not look at me? I’m such a cutie-pie! I could
_______(12) the King’s household and be a royal rat, if only there was any
justice in the world.”
At
first, nobody noticed me. They were all too busy ogling that stupid elephant.
Little did I know that riding behind the elephant in a carriage, _______(13)
the princess, and she was holding a beastly cat in her arms. When he caught
sight of me, the cat leapt out of the carriage and _______(14) to chase me. I
_______(15)to run for my life, and popped down a hole just in time before the
cat could _______(16) me up.
Now
I’ve _______(17) my mind about wanting people to notice me and _______(18) me.
I’ve _______(19) that sometimes, it’s far better not to draw attention to
yourself, but just to _______(20) on quietly with your own business.
