Comprehension activity worksheet with questions about a fable involving a grasshopper and an ant.

Let’s go through each question one by one, using what we know from the classic fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper.”

---

Question 1: Who are the characters of the story?

In the story, there are two main characters — an ant who works hard all summer, and a grasshopper who plays instead of working. So the correct answer is:

→ c. Ant and grasshopper

---

Question 2: What does the ant do?

The ant spends the summer gathering food and preparing for winter. That means the ant is always working.

→ a. Work

---

Question 3: What does the grasshopper do?

While the ant works, the grasshopper sings, dances, and plays music (often said to be playing the fiddle). He doesn’t prepare for winter.

→ c. Play the fiddle

---

Question 4: What happens in winter?

When winter comes, the grasshopper has no food because he didn’t save any. The ant, however, has plenty because he worked all summer.

→ b. The grasshopper has no food

---

Question 5: What happens at the end of the story?

This can vary slightly depending on the version, but in most traditional versions, the ant refuses to help the grasshopper because he didn’t work when he had the chance. Some kinder versions say the ant shares, but based on standard comprehension questions like this, the expected answer is that the ant does NOT help.

→ c. The ant does not help the grasshopper

*(Note: If your teacher told you a different version where the ant helps, then choose b. But unless specified, c is the classic ending.)*
